Subject: GOOD DAY
Greetings,
Before I start,I must first Apologize for this
unsolicited proposal to you.
I am aware that this is certainly an unconventional
approach to starting a
relationship,but as time goes on you will realize the
need for my action.
My name is Tony Adams, Solicitor to Gerald Welsh, who died
with his wife in an air crash on the 31st October 1999
in an Egyptian airline flight990.
For confirmation check

Before the death of Gerald Welsh, he maintained a
fixed deposit account with a Financial services
Company here in the UK (details of which I will
disclose to you later). Since his death, none of his
relatives have come to make claims for this money as
his beneficiary, and the Security Company cannot
release the fund from his account unless someone
applies for claims, as next-of-kin to the deceased as
indicated in there Security Company guidelines. The
Security Company has made several futile efforts to
contact his relatives.As personal Lawyer to Mr.Gerald
Welsh I am aware that he was a secretive person and
did not want anybody to know about the bank account.
He infact asked me to write a letter to the Security
Company to stop sending to him,his quarterly statement
of account for fear that his mails may be intercepted
by the wrong people.
Based on this discovery, I now seek your permission to
have you stand in as a
next of kin to the deceased, as all documentations
will be carefully
worked out by me for the release of these funds all
amounting to the tune of
(US$5,340,000.00).
This we have to do immediately because after five
years the money will be recalled
to the bank`s treasury as unclaimed bills.
It is on this note i decided to seek a willing partner
who will act
as the next of kin/beneficiary of Mr.Gerald Welsh
rather than allow the bank
Claim it.
It may interest you to know that we have secured from
the probate office,an
order of mandamus to locate any of the deceased
beneficiaries.
The following will be required of you at this stage;
1.Your full name .In order for me to prepare the
documents for the
transfer of the funds to your name.
2. Direct Telephone and fax numbers.For our private
and documentary
correspondence.
Upon your acceptance I shall send you a copy of my
international
passport for more confidentiality and trust. I shall
be compensating you with
a million dollars ($1Million dollars) on final
conclusion of this
project for your assistance and corraboration.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a
legitimate arrangement that will
protect you from any breach of the law.If this
proposal is acceptable to you,
please endeavor to contact me immediately as you
realise the urgency and secrecy this transaction
demands.You may contact me through tel number below
or the email.
Regards
Tony Adams.
