ATTENTION My Friend,
It is obvious that this proposal will come to you as a suprise, this is
because we have not met before but i am inspired to sending you this e-mail
by the huge transfer opportunity that will be mutual benefit to two of us,However,
i am Barrister Bolama Ahmed the personal attorney to late Engr. Steve Moore
a national of Isle of Man in UK, who used to work with Shell Petroleum Development
Company(SPDC) in Benin, on the Thursday, 25 December, 2003, 22:53 GMT. my
client, his wife and their three children were involved in a Benin air crash

Cotonou airport and fell into the Gulf of Guinea. You can viste this wbesit
and viw the accident:

Unfortunately they all lost their lives in the event of the accident, since
then i have made several enquiries to Embassies to locate any of my clients
extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful, after these several
unsuccessful attempts. i decided to trace his relatives over the internet
to locate any member of his family but of no avail.
I contacted you to assist in repartracting the money and property left behind
by my client, i can easily convince the bank with my legal practice that
you are the only surviving relation of my client, otherwise the Estate he
left behind will be confiscated or declared unservice able by the bank where
this huge deposits were lodged, particularly the bank where the deceased
had account valued at $27 million U.S dollars conseqently, the bank issued
me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated within
the next twenty offical working days.
Since i have been unsuccessfull in locating the relatives for over several
years 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 $27 million U.S
dollars can be paid to your account and then you and me can share the money.
55% to me and 40% to you, while 5% should be for expenses or tax as your
government may require.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 though.the information i require from you is
this;
(1)Your full name
(2)Address
(3)Telephone/ fax number.
(4)Age/Sex
(5)Occupation
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that
will protect you from any breach of the law,
Yours Faithfully,
