Dear Othman, I am Barrister Frank West a solicitor at law. I am the personal attorney to Engineer Douglas Othman, a national of your country, who used to work with shell development company in Nigeria Before his death On May 4, 2002 my Client,his wife and their two children were involved in a fatal air disaster. My Client and his family together with other persons had boarded the ill-fated Executive Airlines Services (EAS Airlines) which took off from Aminu Kano International Airport and crash at Gwamaja on the outskirts of Kano City killing all passengers on board}.

After these several nsuccessful attempts, I decided to track his last name over the Internet, to locate any member of his family hence I contacted you. I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and properties left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where this huge fund deposited. Particularly, the Oceanic Bank PLC where the deceased has an account value of US$14.7 Million has issued me a mandate to provide the next-of-kin or have the account confiscated within the nest 21 working days.Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 2years now, I seek your 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 of US$14.7 million can be paid into your account and then you I and can share the money, 50% to me and 50% to you. I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any claim we may make. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal through. I guarantee you that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the Law. Note: that it does not necessarily matter, whether you are biologically related to the deceased or not. The fact that your name has something to do with his, is an express ticket to your assuming the kinship to the deceased.

YOUR FULL CONTACT ADDRESS. 3. YOUR MARITAL STATUS. 4. YOUR PRIVATE TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBERS.
