Dear Nathalie,
This e-mail message from the law firm of Equity Chambers & Solicitors.

I am Barrister David Kenneth, solicitor and personal attorney to Mr.John
Nathalie who worked
with Shell Petroleum Development Company here in U.K, here in after referred
to as my client.
On the 21st of April 2004, my client, his wife and their only child were
involved in a car
accident along the Donaghadee Road on his way to Killynether-wood (Ireland)
and all occupants of
the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives. Since then, several enquiries to
locate any of my
clients extended relatives have also proved abortive.
Hence, after these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track his
name over the Internet,
to locate any member of his family hence I contacted you. I have contacted
you to assist in
repatriating the money and property left behind by my client before they get
confiscated or
declared unserviceable by the finance firm in Europe where this huge deposit
was lodged.
The finance firm, where the deceased had an account valued at about U.S
$10.3 million dollars has
issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account
confiscated within the next
twenty one official working days. Since I have been unsuccessful in locating
the relatives for
over 2 months now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of
the deceased so that
the proceeds of this account valued at U.S $10.3 million dollars can be paid
to you and then we
both can share the money, 60% to me and 40% to you. I have all necessary
legal documents that can be used to back-up any claim we may make. 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 the law. I am very grateful and thankful for your attention to
my email. Note. You
will help me to invest part of my share in your country, once we complete
this transaction. My
regards to you and your family.
Yours Sincerely,
David Kenneth Esq.
