Dear Sir,
I am Rev. Barrister Masel Clement, an attorney at law. I have a consolidated
Business Proposition that calls for your interest in assisting me. A
deceased client of mine, by name Mr. Christian Eich, who died as a
result of a plane crash on Wednesday, 26 July, 2000 in Germany.
The website shown below will brief you in a more elaborated detailed
insight about the rough incident of the plane crash that led to the
death of my client.

As Late Mr. Eich's attorney, I was called upon by the Financial Security Institution in
Netherland Holland where my late client had lodged a consignment with the
fund content as fixed deposit of $54,000,000 USD (Fifty Four Million
United States Dollars). The financial institution is not decleared
unclaimed hence my reason for this contact to you.
The financial institution has issued me a notice to contact the next of kin, or the
Consignment lodged by my client will be confiscated. My proposition to
you is to seek your consent to present you as the next-of-kin and
beneficiary of my late client, so that the proceeds of this Consignment
can be shipped or delivered to you with the help of the diplomat
working with the financial institution in Netherland Holland, then we can
share the funds in the consignment. Your interest is awaited for
immediate process.
Best Regards.
Rev. Barrister Masel Clement,
(Esq).
