With Due Respect,
Following my previous research, I am very happy to inform you that I have a good news for you as per regards to the current development of my deceased client who bears the name of Mr. Thomas a native of your country who was my trusted, wealthy client whom died in the
October 23rd bellview airline crash here in my country.
In respect to introduction my name is Barrister Frank Smith a legal attorney with great vision as I am the private and most trusted attorney to late Mr. Thomas .
However my client was a very wealthy business tycoon formerly working with the Nigeria airways for over 20 years till this date before his sudden death in the October 23rd Bellview airline crash 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 Saturday 23rd of October 2005, my client, his wife {Lady Anna and their three children {Elizabeth, Thomas and James} were involved in terrible bomb blast that took live of innocent souls and unfortunately over 117, 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 www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/africa/10/23/nigeria.plane/
Frankly and authoritatively speaking I am very happy to let you understand that my client left over Fifteen point Five million dollars {USD15. 5 M} United States of America dollars here in the Accessbank of Nigeria Plc which is the main point to drive home that made me to contact you as I believe that we both can act like two matured adult in coming to the actualization of this transaction for the betterment of us and our family.
Be rest assured that as you comply to my directing 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.
I have made all attempts to locate any of my client's relative but all attempts have proved unsuccessful that's why I am counting you and I need you to give me a good courage 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 our family.
Finally, all I need from you is your honest cooperation as this transaction is not related to Imagination or Internet Scam but pure and for real. 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 labor 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 our family.
I am awaiting your expedient response with some good news!!!!!
That you are ready to work hand to hand with me.
Thanks and God bless you,
Truly yours,
Barrister Frank Smith.
