Good Day Sir,
I am Barrister.Frank Williams personal Attorney to Ronald Nathan and Joyce
Nathan who used to work with Frank Howard Allen Realtors. On the 31st of
January 2000, my client and his wife were involved in a Plane Crash (Alaska
Airlines Flight 261) all passengers unfortunately lost their lives, since
then I have made several inquiries to locate any of my client's extended
relatives but this proved unsuccessful.
You can read more about there death on this website below:
http://archives.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/
After all these several unsuccessful attempts, since it's not compulsory
that the next-of-kin must be a blood relation to the deceased,hence I
contacted you because you are from the same country with my late client, Be
informed that a next-of-kin can be anybody, friends or
organization.Presently, the Bank where the deceased (my client) had a
Deposit valued at US$7, 437, 000.00 Million issued me a notice to provide
the next-of-kin to my client to receive its benefit or have the account
confiscated, so I have contacted you to assist me in repatriating this
benefit left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared
unserviceable by the Bank.
To this effect, I now seek your consent to present you to the Bank as the
next of kin of the deceased (my Client) so that the proceeds of this Deposit
valued at US$7, 437, 000.00 Million can be paid to you and then you and I
can share the money; 50% to me and 40% to you, while 10% should be given to
any Orphanage Home.
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
via E-mail: the below details immediately you acknowledge the good receipt
of this message.
Full Name:.............................................
Full Address:..........................................
Telephone Number:.....................................
Fax Number:............................................
Mobile Number:.........................................
Private Email:........................................

As soon as I receive these information I will file-in a formal application
to the bank for the inheritance in your name as next-of-kin of the
deceased. That will enable the Bank to process the transaction with you as
beneficiary and remit the funds in your name as (Inheritor).
Your prompt response is highly imperative via this private email
