Attention: President/CEO
I am Barrister Bourne Ndaha (Esq.), a Senegalese Solicitor & Financial
Attorney/Consultant. I was the personal attorney to late Daniel Francis
who died among many others in the Kenya Airways flight of 31st January,
2000 that crashed into the Atlantic Ocean in Abidjan, Cote D’Ivoire.
Before his death, he was an expatriate mining consultant. Mr. Daniel
Francis here-in-after referred as my client was also a category "A"
contractor for Senegalese National Petroleum Corporation .

Mr.Daniel Francis satisfactorily executed contracts for Senegalese
National Petroleum Corporation and the sum of Ten million, five hundred thousand
United States of American Dollars is an outstanding debt owe to him for years by the
Corporation.
Unfortunately, it is after his death that Contract Award & Supervisory Committee of
the Petroleum Corporation approved his payment and sent notification to my chambers
in accordance with my client's instructions-that any correspondence in respect to
his dealings with
the Petroleum Corporation must go through my chambers. The Petroleum
Corporation has consequently asked me to contact his next of kin
to claim his outstanding contract fee owe to him.
All attempts to trace his next of kin(s) were fruitless. I also
discovered that Mr.Daniel Francis did not declare any kin or relations in all his
official documents.
I am contacting you based on that official letter I received from the
Petroleum Corporation which also informs that Senegalese law states that at the
expiration of 5(five) years the money will revert to the
ownership of the Senegalese Government if I do not confirm the next of kin to claim
the fund.Search in the internet with his name to trace his
relations was without success. Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as
a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to Mr. Daniel Francis so that the fruits
of this old man’s labour will not go into the hands of corrupt government officials
who will share the money if not claimed.
Note that this transaction is simple and risk free because I will
provide expert legal services/documentations that will guarantee and authenticate
you as the true next of kin. I wish to point out that after the claims, I would want
20% of this money to be shared among some charity organizations, while the remaining
80% is shared equally between us. Most importantly, I would also require your
assistance towards investing my share in your country or anywhere as you may advice.
If you are interested, please contact me immediately with your full name/address,
telephone/fax numbers and photograph page of your international passport or driver's
licence.
Upon your response, I shall provide you with more details and how we
shall proceed with this claims. I expect you to observe utmost confidentiality and
be rest assured that this transaction would be profitable for both of us.
Awaiting your urgent reply.
Thanks & Regards,
Barrister Bourne Ndaha.
