Dear Mr VICTIMNAME,
I apologise for this unsolicited nature of my email, it was out of desperation and eagerness that made me to contact you. Following my previous research, I am very happy to inform you that I have good news for you as regards the current development of my deceased client who bears the name of Mr. Ronald Bronstein. He was my trusted,wealthy client who died in the January 27th Bomb blast here in my country.
In respect to introduction, my name is Barrister Paul Okonedo a legal attorney with great vision as I am the private and most trusted attorney to late "Mr. Ronald Bronstein". However my client was a very wealthy business tycoon formerly working with the Nigeria airways for over 20 years before his sudden death in the January 27th 2002 Bomb blast that rocked his residence in Steven Toba street, G.R.A Ikeja, here in my country, view of this please kindly view the BBC web page below to know the reality of this urgent matter that I have contacted you for.
On Sunday, 27th of January 2002, my client, Mr. Ronald Bronstein was involved in a terrible bomb blast that took lives of innocent souls and unfortunately over 1000, people lost their lives and my client and his family were part of this people that lost their lives.In view of this please view the web page below

Frankly and authoritatively speaking I am very happy to let you understand that my client left three million eight hundred and seventy thousand {USD3.87 M } United States of America dollars precisely with Allstates Trust Bank Plc which is the main point to drive home at. I have made so many attempts to locate any of my client’s relative but all attempts have proved unsuccessful that’s why I am counting on you and I need you to give me good encouragement and faith that we can work as two partners in progress in coming to the realization of this transaction for the betterment of us and family.
Since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the the relatives for over 2 years now, I seek your prompt consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since you have the same last name so that the proceeds of this account valued at {USD3.87 M } dollars precisely can be transferred into your account and then you and I can share the money according to any agreed ratio because the this funds is almost maturing to confiscation.
All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us see this deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. pls enclose your other names and your phone numbers in your response as soon as you show keen interest. Be rest assured that as you comply to my directives this transaction will be executed in a legitimate arrangement that will prevent you from any breach of law in your country as it would be back with official documentation endorsed by the supreme court of Nigeria to legalize the claim of this transaction .
Finally , all I need from you is your honest cooperation as this transaction is not related to Imagination or otherwise but genuine and legitimate. I crave your indulgence to present you as the surviving next of kin to the deceased so that we can reap from the fruit of this old man labour before some group of bad and corrupt leaders in my country get rid of this money and share it for their own selfish interest instead of the both of us sharing it for the betterment of us and family.
I am awaiting your expedient response with some good
news!!!!Thanks and God bless you,
Truly yours
Barrister Paul Okonedo
