Dear SIR/MADAM,
I am Barrister Fred Brume a solicitor at law.The personal attorney to a
late Matin ,foriegn expatriate who hails from your country and shares
the same last name with you.I wish to bring to your hearing a business
proposition, which is by nature strictly confidential, and i beg your pardon
to accept my unsolicited email to you, I will like to seek your help in
which I know that a deal of this magnitude will make anyone worried and
apprehensive but I am assuring you not to be afraid, as all will be well
at the end of this endeavor.
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 a Local
Plane Crash at Kano State,enroute Abuja (The Capital City) all occupants
in the Plane lost thei lives,unfortunately on this same flight were other
dignitaries like the Sports Minister and a host of others. The following

Since then I have made several enquiries to your embassy to locate any
of my clients extended relatives this has also proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track his last
name over the Internet, to locate any member of his family hence I contacted
you. I contacted you to assist in claiming this fund from the finance house
where
he deposited it before his untimely death.
The finance company where the deceased had an account valued at about USD$7.million
dollars has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account
confisicated within the next ten official working days.
Since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives for over 2 years
now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased
since you have the same last name so that the proceeds of this account
valued at USD$7. million dollars can be paid to you as the next of kin.
All I need is your full maximum suport and cooperation to enable us achieve
this transaction within 10 working days and I guarantee that this will
be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any
breach of the law.
If you are interested in this transaction, kindly furnish me with your
full name, address, private telephone and fax numbers to enable us commence
all the legal documents immediately.
Best regards,
Barrister Fred Brume
