I am Barrister Frank Cole, a solicitor at law. I am the personal attorney to Late Mr. Elmer J. Casmir, a Foreigner who used to work with the PANOCO, Oil Servicing Company in Nigeria. Hereinafter shall be referred to as my client. On the 4th of May 2002, my Client, his wife and their two children were involved in a EAS-Plane crash in Kano State, Nigeria and since then I have made several enquiries to his embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful.
For reference purpose as regards the plane crash please go to the following websites:

After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his relatives over the Internet, to locate any member of his family, hence I had to contact you. I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Finance Company where this huge deposit were lodged. Particularly, the Finance Company where the deceased had a deposit valued at about Fifteen Million Six Hundred Thousand United States Dollars (USD15.6M) has issued me a notice to provide the next-of-kin or have the account confiscated within 3 months.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over a year now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased so that the proceeds of this account valued at USD15.6 Million can be paid to you and then you and I can share the money. I would like you to contact me once you receive this mail indicating your interest in this to enable me give you more details of the modus operandi of getting this money paid to you by the Finance Company. I am willing to give you 50% out of the entire sum for your assistance in getting this fund and I shall make arrangements on how to meet you at the appropriate time for the disbursement.
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us seeing this deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. Please get in touch with me immediately as I do not have much time on my disposal.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated co-operation and I hope this mail will be given the desire consideration.
Best Regards,
Barrister Frank Cole
