Compliments,
I know that this mail will come to you as a surprise, Please accept the content in good faith. I do not intend to cause any grief to you and your family. The reason for sending this mail is very fundamental to the doctrine of human privileges and right. My name is Barrister Bernard Marissa a legal practitioner with the Bernard Chambers based in London and the personal Attorney to late Mr. Richard, a national of your country who died along with his wife and two sons in the Tube explosion between King's Cross-and Russell Square in London on the 7th of July 2005.
My client was a successful and an accomplished family man, who made enough fortune before his untimely death. Since then I have made several Inquiries through your Embassy to locate any of my clients extended relative but this exercise has proved unsuccessful. After several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his relatives through the Internet, to locate any member of his family, not much progress was recorded. My late client was an influential wealthy businessman, an oil magnet here in London and he left behind a deposit of Twelve Million Two Hundred Thousand United States Dollars only ($12.2Millionusd) in his domiciliary bank account in a commercial bank here in London.
After the death of my client his bankers contacted me, as his Attorney to provide his next of kin who would inherit his funds. The board of directors of his bank adopted a resolution and I was mandated to provide his next of kin for the payment of this money within 28 Working days or forfeit the money to the bank as an abandoned property. The bankers had planned to invoke the abandoned property decree of 1996 to confiscate the funds after the expiration of the period given to me.
Fortunately I came across your name and I discovered that you bear the same surname with my late client and coincidentally, you are also nationals of the same country. I have reasoned very professionally and I feel it will be legally proper to present you as the next of kin of my deceased client so that you can be paid the funds left in his bank account. I therefore seek your consent to present you as the Next of Kin to the Deceased since you are at an advantage, bearing the same surname and equally from the same country that the proceeds of this Bank Account valued at $12.2 Million Dollars can be paid to you. We shall both share the funds equally after we might have deducted all expenses incurred in the course of the transaction.
I shall assemble all the necessary Legal Documents that will be used to back up our claim. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of law. Please get in touch with me by email to enable us discuss further.

Best Regards
Barrister Bernard Marissa.
