CONFIDENTIAL & PREVILEDGE
I know that you will be surprise to read from somebody you have not known
or seen before, But behold" I entreat you to take the will for the deed.
I believed it is indeed one the miraculous work of God that I got your contact
coincidentally when I was surfing internet for the relatives of my late
client.
I am Barrister. Paul Uti Esq., (Notary Advocate & Legal Practitioners) and
I am the personal attorney to my late client.
A Foreigner from your country, a licensed Crude Oil Exporter with African
largest crude oil producing Firm, Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation
(N.N.P.C.) Well, On The 3rd of May 2002, My Client, his Wife and their 2
Children were involved in an airplane Crash (while on a picnic-trip.) involving
The BAC 111-500 belonging to EAS AIRLINES. Which the Pilot, 7 Crew Members
and 65 Passengers on board unfortunately lost their lives.

Since then I have made several enquiries to his embassy to see if I can
locate any of my clients extended relatives, this has all the while proved
unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace
his relatives (i.e. same name) over the Internet, to locate any member of
his family but have to no avail.
Therefore, I am contacting you to assist me in accommodating the mega amount
of money left behind by my late client before it will get confiscated or
declared dormant by the Bank where this huge amount was deposit, I want
you to stand in as the next of Kin to the deceased since you bear the same
surname with him.
The Bank where the deceased had an account valued at Twenty million United
States dollars (US$20, 000 000.00) has issued me a notice to provide the
next of kin to the deceased or have the account confiscated within the next
(30) official working days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for years now,
I am seeking for your consent to present you as the Next of kin of the deceased
since you are still a foreigner, and most fortunately your last name" is
the same with my late client so it will be easier and convincing to present
you as the next of kin to my late client. So that the proceeds of this account
valued at US$20million USD can be paid to you. Then thereafter the transfer,
It will be shared as following: First and foremost, 10% of the total fund
will be donated to Church and Motherless babies home in your country, Then
you and I will share the remaining money, 50% for me and 30% for you, while
the remaining 10% will be used to defray all our expenses incurred during
the course of this transaction such like Telephone bills, Vats and Taxes
as the bank or your government may require.
I have all the necessary legal documents that can be used to back up this
claim such like e.g. the Certificate of Deposit, Death certificate of my
client, e.t.c. Which i will furnish to you upon your acceptance to do this
deal with me. All I require is your honesty; mutual understanding and co-operation
to enable us actualize this lucrative deal, which is a golden opportunity
for us to make wealth for our individual families.
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
by my email as indicated above so that we can commence the documentations
quickly. Finally I need your Mobile Cell, Telephone & Fax numbers for easy
communication in return.
