Subject: your valued response
Hello Dear,
I am pleased to send my greetings. I am BARRISTER MIKE JONES, a solicitor at law.i am the personal attorney to Late Mr.Morris Thompson who use to work with shell development company in nigera. I am writing following a discovery i made after the death of my client that will be of immense benefit to both of us. I have contacted you to assist in recovering the fund valued at US$15.6 million left behind by my client deposited in a security company in Europe .my Late master Mr. Morris Thompson an American who unfortunately lost his life in the plane crash of Alaska Airlines Flight 261 which crashed on January 31st 2000, including his wife and only daughter. You shall read more about the crash on visiting this website.(www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list)and tml Since his death, i have been expecting his next of kin or relatves to come over and claim his money because the Security Company cannot release the funds unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation
to the deceased as indicated in Security company policy. Unfortunately I learnt that his supposed next of kin being his only daughter died along with him in the plane crash leaving nobody with the knowledge of this fund behind for the claim. It is therefore upon this discovery that I decided to contact you to apply for the claims of the fund with the Security Company for the release of the money to you as the next of kin or beneficiary of the funds for safety keeping and subsequent disbursement since althoughy i do not know you nor have seen or met you in my life as nobody is coming for it and i don't want this money to continue unclaimed with the Security Company's treasury . I agreed that 40% of this money will be for you as partner,while the ballance will be for me . I will visit your country for the disbursement according to the percentages indicated above once this money gets into your account. Please be honest to me and trust has to be our watchword in this transaction. Note
this transaction is confidential and risk free. As soon as you receive this mail, you should contact me mail whether or not you are willing to enter into this deal. In the event you are not interested, I sincerely ask that you disregard this email and tell no one about it. I am very careful about my future as a lawyer should you mention this to someone else. I hope you can be trusted in this regard. Please note that all necessary legal documents for the smooth release of these funds to you shall be handled by me being the attorney to the deceased.I will discuss much in details when I do receive your response . Please in your response include your telephone number and fax umber for a better communication between us. yours sincerely,
Barr. Mike Jones.
