Dear friend
Good day to you :
I am Barrister David Osage a solicitor at law.The personal attorney to a
late Mark Bill,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 their lives,unfortunately on this same flight were other
dignitaries like the Sports Minister and a host of others.

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 David Osage
