Dear Friend
I crave your indulgence as I contact you in such a surprising manner.
But I respectfully insist you read this letter carefully,as I am
optimistic it will open doors for unimaginable financial reward for the
both of us.
Allow me introduce myself to you,i am Barrister Donald W. Briggs an
attorney to a national of your country,who used to work with Shell
Petroleum Development Company here in the United Kingdom,herein referred
to as my client. On the 21st of April 2002,my client, his wife and their
three children were involved in a ghastly auto accident on the high way
here in the capital city.
Unfortunately,all occupants of the vehicle lost their lives,as the
vehicle caught fire after crashing. Since then,i have made several
efforts to locate any of my late clients relatives and extended
relatives,but all effort has been unsucessful.
My purpose of contacting you is for you and i to work together as a team
in repatriating the huge sum of money,deposited by my client before his
death,in other to avoid the sum from being confisticated,or declared
unserviceable by bond finance and security company,where the deceased
had a deposit,valued at about US$8.5Million United States Dollars.
The management board of bond finance and security company,has issued to
me a thirty official working days ultimatum,to present the next of kin
of my late client for the disbursement of the deposited sum,or have the
sum confisticated. Due to the fact that i have been unsuccessful in
locating the relatives of my late client for years now,i seek your
consent to present you as the next of kin to my late client,since you
bear the same last name/surname with him and in other for the deposited
sum,valued at eight million five hundred United States Dollars(US$8.5
Million),to be remitted to you accordingly. After the transfer of this
sum to you as the next of kin to the deseased,we will share the money in
the ratio of 20/80 afterwards.
All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us in seeing this
payment through by abiding to the remittance prerogatives of the
security company.
I guarantee that this payment to you,will be executed under legitimate
arrangements,that will protect you from any breach of the law. Please
get in touch with me with your telephone and fax number,your contact
address and full names,to enable you and i discuss on the procedures of
repatriate the deposited sum to you,as the beneficiary/next of kin of my
late client.I await your reply to my personal email

Best regards,
Barr. Donald W. Briggs (Esq).
