Subject: GOOD NEWS TO YOUR FAMILY...M C Spike

Solicitor & advocate
Supreme High-Court
Lome, Republic of Togo.
ATTENTION PLEASE
I know that this mail will come to you as surprise,please accept the content in good faith. I do not intend to cause any grief to you and your family.The reason for sending this mail is very fundamental to the doctrine of human privileges and right to stand as Next of Kin to Late (MR. S. A. Spike.
I only got your name and contact details from My Country Exchange Information On-line Service on my personal programmed search on the internet for a reputable individual to assist me sincerely & confidential with this fund inheritance transfer.
I am Barrister FELIX MENSAH, a solicitor at law, personal attorney to Late "Engr. S. A. Spike." a national of your country. He was the former Marketing Director with SHELL OIL DEVELOPMENT COMPANY B.P. LOME-TOGO., Here in after shall be referred to as my client.
My client and his wife with their only daughter were involved in Tsunami flood disaster that happened in Sumatra Island, Indonesia on 26th December 2004. And since then I have made several enquiries to the embassy's here to locate any of my clients extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful after these several unsuccessful attempts.
I have reasoned very professionally as a lawyer and I feel it will be legally proper to present you as the Next of Kin to retrieve his deposited fund with a SECURITY COMPANY valued (US$ 5.5million) and my Legal Chambers plans for the fund release into your proper care as Next of Kin to my Late client which I have this believe that He is a member of your family since he shares the same name with you.
Meanwhile, STANDARD TRUST SECURITY FINANCE COMPANY has issued me a notice to provide the Next of Kin before it gets confisicated. I expect your urgent response indicating your full interest in this great business for our both mutual trust.
I therefore seek your consent to present you as the Next of Kin to their Deceased customer so that the proceeds of this transaction will be released and this US$ 5.5million will be paid to you by the Security Company since you are at an advantage bearing the same name and equally from the same country and we shall both share the funds.
It requires that your full contact address, telephone and fax number will be needed for our easy communication. I guarantee to you 100% risk free and this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
Best regards.
Barrister Felix Mensah. BSC,LLB.TL.
