Dear VICTIMNAME.
Sir
Thanks for your acceptance to my proposal, now that I have received your acceptance to carry out this business with me, I will prepare and send a letter of claims to the GSF (GLOBAL SECURITY & FINANCE CO LTD , BENIN REPUBLIC were my late client made the deposit of the fund for them to contact you on the process of releasing the fund $11.7Million (Eleven Million Seven Hundred Thousand United States Dollars Only ) into your account as the next of kin.
As soon as they communicates you, please let me know as I have included your contact details to the letter I sent to them, and it is very important you send your direct telephone number were you can be contacted by phone, and you maintain the secrecy of this transaction as the GSF doe's not know that I and you are working partners, they only knows me as family attorney to my late client.
I will be expecting to have your immediate reply with your direct phone number because I need to talk with you briefly on this issue, as to know the person I am dealing with. I still maintain that you should not take advantage of me when this fund gets to you, I am having trust on you irrespective of the fact that we have never met face to face before and never you disappoint me. Please my good friend, I would not like you to associate my integrity with the people you dealt with in the past because with my caliber as a senior attorney I don't think I will be out to extort you of any thing, all I need from you is your maximum corporation so that we can move this money out from the security company to any bank account you may provide to them so that after the fund transfer, we will schedule and met for final disbursement. I am a man of high reputable honour,when we meet then you will know my kind of person, I am not a greedy type, all I believe is the truth and noting more than that, why I contacted you is because I don't want to fold my hands watch the security company confiscate my late clients money which they have sounded the notice to me earlier..
Waiting to your response ASAP.
Barrister Duke Kasy.

Asunto:Your email
I apologize for the late reply.
Last year I received an email about an inheritance in Cote d'Ivoire. Even though I paid almost £2500 ($5000) in fees to Barrister Eze, I have not yet received the money.
I don't want to get burnt again.
Can I really trust you?
