From: "conteh musa" <contehi23@yahoo.com> (may be fake)

Subject: hello
I am Barrister Conteh Musa (Esq.), a Senegalese Solicitor & Financial
attorney/Consultant.I
decided to send this first letter write through email while subsequent
ones would be
secured. I was the personal attorney to late Mr. Essam Panak a foriegn
contractor who died
among many others in a car accident along Sicap Express Road in Dakar
Senegal.
Before his death, he was an expatriate mining consultant and
Gold/diamond machant within
West Africa sub-region. Mr. Essam Panak here-in-after referred as my
client was also a
category "A"contractor for Senegalaise National Petroleum
Corporation.He satisfactorily
executed some contracts for Senegalaise National Petroleum Corporation
and the sum of Twenty
million United States of American Dollars is an outstanding debt owe to
him by the
Corporation. Unfortunetely,it is after his death that
Contract Award & Suppervisory Committee of the Petroleum Corporation
approved this 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 this
outstanding contract fee owe to him. All attempts to trace his next of
kin(s), even through
search in the internet, were fruitless. I also discovered that my
client did not declare any
kin or relations in all his official documents with the Oil industry. I
have contacted you
to assist in claiming this money from the oil corporation for benefit
of two of us before it
is confisicated or declared unserviceable as warned by the petroleum
corporation. This claim
would not be suspicious since i am the authority to nominate my
client's next of kin.I
discovered your contact during my tidious search in the internet for a
legitimate next of
kin of my late client.
Note that this transaction is simple and 100% risk free because I am
the authority to
nominate my client's next of kin and secondly, I will provide legal
documentations
that will present and authenticate you as the true next of kin as we
intend to claim. I wish
to point out that after the claims, I would want 10% of this money to
be shared among some
charity organizations, while the remaining 90% would be shared equally
between us after
deduction of expenses expected to be incured by both parties in the
course of this claim.
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 private details which shall include telephone/fax numbers.
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. It will take us about 5(five) day to
complete this claim if there
is no delays on your side.
Awaiting your urgent reply.
Thanks & Best Regards
Barrister conteh musa
