Subject: From Victor Miller
Dear Friend,
I am Mr Victor Miller, an attorney at law. A deceased
client of mine, by name Mr. Andrew Parker,who
hereinafter shall be referred to as my client,left a
huge deposit of funds before he died. I have contacted
you to assist in repatriating the money left behind by
my client before it is confiscated or declared
unserviceable by the bank where this deposit valued at
15 million united dollars is lodged.
On the 25th of July 2000, my client, his wife and
their two Children died in the Air France concord
plane crash bound for New York in their plan for a
world cruise,

Before his death, I have managed his
properties/estate here in the U.K. Prior to his death,
he did instructed me to put some of his properties out
for sale. These were bought and paid for after his
death. I monitored the payment of these as his
solicitor. Now the money paid was deposited into his
Local account here cum other funds. This account was
not serviced for five years , and according to banking
policies, and unserviced account, is closed with its
value taken over by the bank.
This bank has issued me a notice to contact the next
of kin, or the account will be confiscated because
there is a government gazzette/mandate/authorising all
banks to freeze or consificate any account that has
not been servicable in a long period of time,this is
geared
towards capital flight for the economy.
My proposition to you is to seek your consent to
present you as the next-of-kin and beneficiary of my
named lient, so that the proceeds of this account can
be paid to you.
Then we can share the amount on a mutually agreed-upon
percentage. All legal documents to back up your claim
as my client's next-of-kin will be provided.
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us
see this transaction through. This will be executed
under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you
from any breach of the law.
If this business proposition offends your moral
values,do accept my apology but if not, then contact
me at once to indicate your interest,by giving me your
telephone number, fax number and your address so that
I too can contact you.
Best regards,
Barrister Victor Miller.
