Dear Friend,
PROPOSAL REQUEST FOR YOUR COOPERATION TO ACT AS NEXT OF KIN
I am Dr. Lambert Mann, a personal doctor to Mr. Gill Thomas who used to work
with shell development company In Nigeria. On the 21st of April 2004,my
client, his wife and their three children were involved In a car accident
along shagamu express road. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost
there lives. Since then I have made several enquiries to his embassy to
locate any of my clients extended relatives, this has also proved
unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace
his relatives over the Internet, to locate any member of his family but of
no avail,hence I contact you. I have contacted you to assist in repatriating
the money that belongs to my client before they get confiscated or declared
Unserviceable by the bank where this huge deposits were lodged, the Bank
where the deceased had an account valued at about US$50 Million dollars has
issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account
confiscated within the next twenty official working days. Since I have been
unsuccessful in locating the relatives, for over One month now. I seek your
consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since I now have
no alternative, so that the proceeds of this account valued at $50 million
dollars can be paid to you and then you and me can share the money. 55% to
me and 40% to you, while 5% should be for expenses or tax as your government
may require. I have the Death Certificate of Mr. Gill Thomas that Can be

cooperation to enable us see this dealt through as I am already in good
contact with the bank for this funds transfer. I only need now to present
