Dear Friend,
I am Barrister David Godwin, a lawyer and Personal Attorney to late Engineer Williams A.Pacheco, who worked with a Multi-national Oil Firm in Nigeria.

At least 111 occupants of the plane unfortunately lost their lives.Since then I have made several inquiries to locate any of my late client's extended relatives without any success. After my several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his relatives over the Internet, to locate any member of his family but of no avail.
It is on this basis therefore,that i have resolved to contact you for you to assist me stand as the NEXT OF KIN and BENEFICIARY of the money left behind by my client with a Bank here in Nigeria before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Bank.
However,the Bank where my late client had an account valued at about US$ 27 Million has issued me a notice as his lawyer to provide the NEXT OF KIN to my late client so that his fund with the Bank can be transferred to his 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 3 years now, I have now decided to seek your consent for me to present you as the NEXT OF KIN and BENEFICIARY of these money with the bank so that you and i will share these money accordingly after the bank have transferred the US$27 Million to you. And we can share these money thus; 50% for me and 45% for you, while 5% is mapped out for expenses that we might incur in the course of processing the transfer of these money to you.
All I require is your honesty,sincerity and co-operation to enable us carry out this deal successfully as proposed. I want to guarantee you that this Business will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.Also be further informed that our interest and security had been considered before you were contacted, so be rest assured and feel free to go into this transaction with me.
I will want you to send the following information to me in your response to this proposal if you are interested to assist me.
