Dear Sir/Madam,
I write to seek for your co-operation, as my foreign partner
and to request for your assistance, in my quest to

stable economy of your country. I apologize if this
letter does not suit your personal or business ethics.
My name is Bar. Henry Slater an attorney in law,
solicitor and advocate .A greater proportion of my clients
are from :- real estate , wills, probate registry and trust.
I have been an attorney, and still is to a deceased
client of mine who was, an immigrant property magnate
based in the U.K., also referred to as my client herein.
On the 25th of July 2000, my client, his wife and two
kids lost their lives in the fatal EgyptAir flight 99
plane crash bound for New York, during the course of
vacation. Please i refer you to this web page for more
information @ :-
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/502503.stm.
Understandably, I have been managing his investments,
here in the U.K. and some of his properties, were put
out for sale. This i was notified about and partook in
the dispositions, as his attorney. Now the proceeds
were deposited into his account. I am contacting
you, to assist in repatriating this money and property
left behind by my client before they get confisticated
or declared unserviceable by his bank. Particularly,
i have been issued an ultimatum in providing his
next of kin or have the account confisticated, within a
limited time frame.
My late client has an account valued at £15.5 million
Pounds. Since I have been unsuccessful in locating any living
relatives over this period of time, and with the bank giving
me a deadline, i now seek your consent to present you as
the next of kin of the deceased, so that the proceeds
of this account valued at £15.5 million Pounds can be
paid to you and then this money wil be split between us.
The proceeds will be divided as follows, 50% to me
amounting to £7,750,000.00 Pounds and you keep 40%
amounting to £6,200.000.00 and 10% amounting to
£1,550,000.00 Pounds for miscellaneous expenses that
might arise. I have all necessary informations
and will provide all legal documentations required,
to back up every claims we tender to the bank. All i
require, is your honest co-operation to enable us see
this through. I definitely guarantee that this will be
executed under a legitimate arrangement, that will
protect you and i, from breaching the law.
This is an entirely risk-free relationship and i will
put in my very best, to make sure we pull this through .
Please forward your full names and contact
details to enable us discuss further about this
transaction. A swift acknowledgement on the receipt of
this letter would be appreciated. Please correspond
via phone or email.
