Subject: I wait your response.

From the desk of;
Kafa Johnson Chambers {Solicitor&Advocate]
London.

Good day Sir,

I am Barrister Kafa Johnson, a solicitor at law. I am the personal attorney
to Mr. David Tom, a national of your country, possibly could be your brother,
who used to work with one of oil leading companies here in London. Herein
after shall be referred to as my client. On the 21st of April 2000, my client,
his wife and their two Children were involved in a auto crash, All occupants
of the car unfortunately lost their lives.
Since then I have made several enquiries to your embassy here in England
to locate any of my clients extended relatives this has also proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to contact you.
I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and property left
behind by my client before they get confiscated,frozen or declared unserviceable
by the bank where these huge deposits were lodged.
Particularly, Natwest Bank London where the deceased had an account valued
at about Tweenty Three Million, Six Hundred and Fifteen Thousand United
States Dollars (US$23,615,000:00). The management has issued me anotice
to provide the next of kin or have the account frozen within the next ten
official working days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 2 years
now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased
so that the proceeds of this amount valued at $23,615,000:00 can be paid
to you and then you and I can share the money. 60% to me and 40% to you.
I have all the necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any
claim we may make. And this I must do to make sure that this fund is not
wasted or end up in the wrong hands.
All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us see this deal through.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that
will protect you from any breach of the law.reply me by my private email
only xxbarristerkafa@yahoo.com to enable me give you more information on
the transaction.

Best regards,

Barrister. Kafa Johnson.
