Subject: 50% TO YOU AND 50% FOR ME

Dear Friend,

I sincerely apologize for intruding into your privacy especially by contacting you through this means for a business transaction of this magnitude, but due to its seriousness and urgency it therefore became necessary for me to seek your assistance.

I am Barrister Mathew Taylor, a solicitor at law. The personal attorney to Late Eng Mark, A foreigner, who used to work with Shell Oil Development Company In UK. I am contacting you concerning my late client and an investment he made. I would respectfully request that you keep the contents of this mail confidential and respect the integrity of the information you come by as a result of this mail. I contacted you independently and no one should be informed of this communication. I would like to intimate you with certain facts that I believe would be of interest to you.

This is a genuine transaction and is 100% risk free. All I'm demanding from you is your honest co-operation to enable us achieve our goal, and not a perfidious person. On the 6th of May, 2002 it was reported to us that my Client, his wife and their only daughter were involved in an Auto Crash at Liverpool, enrooted Manchester; all occupants in the Car lost their lives.

After several unsuccessful attempts in locating any of his relations and the latest ultimatum given to me by the Bank, mandating me to provide my client's next of kin within the next two weeks OR They have the money confiscated, which I wouldn't live to see it happen, hence my decision to contact you so that I can present you as the next of kin to my late client. All I demand from you is your honest co-operation so that this fund {12.8million US dollars} can be transferred into any account of your choice within the shortest time possible.

For your assistance and co-operation, I have decided to have the money shared as follows; 50% for you, 50% for me... if I fail to present my late client's next of kin in couple of weeks, the truth is that this money would not be taken by the government but by some greedy officials of the Savings & Loan Company, which the said money is presently in SIAM COMMERCIAL BANK THAILAND, Now you might want to wonder with me why the money is fixed in Thailand and not UK, This same reason is why I suspected that some individual must have been looking for a way to take my Late Client’s Funds...Every information that will back you up as the next of kin to my late client shall be given to you as soon as I have your consent.

The following information will be required from you in your reply;

1.} your full name,
2.} contact/delivery address,
3.} Your phone/fax number,
4.} Your Occupation and;
5.} Your Age.

With this information I will prepare the necessary documents and affidavit that will put you in place as the next of kin. After we have successfully satisfied the requirements of the bank the money totaling USD $12.8 Million would be paid into your account for you to take 50% and I will be taking 50%. All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us see this through.

For purpose of security and the confidentiality of this transaction you can kindly reply this mail to this my private e-mail address: (barr.mathewtaylor@hotmail.com)

I look forward to receive your positive response soonest.

Best Regards,
Barrister Mathew Taylor.
