Dear 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 email by the huge fund transfer opportunity that will be of mutual benefit to the two of us.
However, I am Barrister James Danel, [the personal Attorney to the late Engr. Ronald Hamiltom a national of Northern American], who used to work with Shell Petroleum Development company (SPDC) in Nigeria. On November 2004, my client,his wife And their three children were involved in a car accident along Sagamu/Lagos Express Road.
Unfortunately they all lost their lives in the event of the accident,Since then I have made several enquiries to several Embassies to locate any of my clients extended relatives,this has also proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccesful attempts,I decided to trace his relatives over the Internet to locate any member of his family but of no avail, hence I contacted you, Please my friend.
I contacted you to assist in repartriating 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 unserviceable by the bank where this huge deposits were lodged.
Particularly, the Bank where the deceased had an account valued at about $15million U.S dollars (fifteen million U.S. America dollars). Conseqently,The bank issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated within the next ten official working days.
Since i have been unsuccesful 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 $15million U.S dollars can be paid to your account and then you and i can share the money. 60% to me and 35% to you, while 5% should be for expenses or tax as your governmen may require.
Please all I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal through and also Forward the following to me for the filling of the application of claim in your name urgently;
Your Full Name:
Your Age and Gender :
Your Nationality:
Your House Address:
Your Occupation:

Note also that this transaction must be kept strictly confidential because of it's nature.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. Please get in touch with me VIA this my confidential email (jamesdanel95@yahoo.com) .
Yours Faithfully,
Barrister James Danel, (SAN).
