From: "PETER JONES" <jonespet11@hotmail.com>

Subject: Attention
Attention,
Permit me to introduce myself; I am Peter Jones.a solicitor at law here in
Europe. I am contacting you, in relation to a business that involves a
colossal sum of money from a deceased account.
I am the personal attorney to a foreigner named Dr. Robert Ebner who died in
an air crash along with his wife on the 31st October 1999 in an Egyptian
airline 990 with other passengers on board. You can confirm this from the
website below which was published by CNN.WEBSITE.
<http://www.greatdreams.com/plane990.htm> He had $35million lodged with a
security company before his death. All my efforts to locate his true
relations/next of kin as his personal attorney since he died has proved
abortive as he did not indicate such in all the official documents he
tendered to the security firm.
The Money is about to be reverted back to the firm's treasury hence I
solicit your permission to process all requisite documents in your favour by
using your name as his legitimate next of kin to transfer this money into
your account without further delay. Or, you can come here so that we can put
heads together and discuss on how to go about it.
Please kindly furnish me with your contact details, Telephone and Fax
numbers to enable me discuss further with you and start up with the process
immediately.
You will get a very reasonable percentage out of this money for your help
and it will be negotiable. This transaction is risk free, strictly private
and must be treated with utmost confidentiality. Contact me immediately
through this email address: jonespet001@yahoo.co.uk am awaiting your urgent
response.
Thanks from,
Peter Jones.
