Dear Friend

I am Mr. Williams Zuchez, The Manager to late Mr Briggs who is a National
of your Country, who used to work with Niger Delta Development Commission
(NDDC) in Nigeria as a consultant,he was one
of the biggest consultants with the Commission. On the 21st of April 2001,
the deceased, his wife And their three children were involved in a car accident
along Lagos/Badagry Express Road when they were coming back from the Badagry
Beach.

Unfortunately they All lost their lives in the event of the accident, Since
then, The Bank where he made huge deposit have made several enquiries to
locate any of his extended relatives. After these several unsuccessful attempts,
I decided to contact you,and with my position as his Manager, it will not
be difficult for you claiming the fund as the next of kin to the deceased.
Hence you must assist in repartrating the money, left behind by him before
they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Bank and the Federal
Government of my country.

The deceased had an account valued of US$3.6 million U.S dollar(Three Million
Six Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) Conseqently, the board of the
Bank issued a notice to provide the next kin or have the money confiscated
within the next ten official working days since we have been unsuccesfull
in locating any of his relatives for over 3 years now.

I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased and
with my position as his Manager, the proceeds of his account valued at US$3.6
Million U.S DollarS dollars can be paid to you, then you and I can share
the money. 45% to me and 45% to you, while 10% should be for expenses and
taxes as may be required.

All necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any claim we may
make, will be aquired by me.

All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal through.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that
will protect you and I from any breach of the law.

Please get in touch with me through my private email:willzuchez@mail.nu

Regards
Williams Zuchez
