Subject: Can I work with you?
Good Day
I am Barrister Watson Burton. I am contacting you on the basis of business collaboration which I believe that will bring fort a big achievement for both you and I.
I saw your contact on the Israel chamber of commerce and industry and decided to contact you and relate to you a business transaction which I believe that we will be able to handle together because due to you ability to reside in the middle east as this business also relates to someone in the middle east and I believe that you will be the best person that I will prefer to handle the business transaction with, which involves $45 million USD in cash.
I was the attorney to Late Mr. John Hana-Daher, a Syrian national who until his death was an employee of Gocogipar Nig. Ltd., a Port-Harcourt-based oil servicing contracting firm.
I don¢t need to go into more details but the issue on ground is that since he died, I was not able to locate any of his relatives and also the financial firm where he deposited the funds is demanding that I should bring forth any of his relatives to come and make claim to the funds and I have received the final warning form the financial firm stating that if nothing is don at the end of this month, the money will be moved into their Treasury.
This is the details of his death in the news links below:

This was the final warning I received and I decided to act fast and do something to get the money out of the financial firm before the financial firm takes the money and also I contacted you because I believe that with your help, we both can be able to get the funds out for ourselves because you live in asia and it will be expected that the Benefitiary would be a foreinger..
This is my telephone number: +234 7032454427.
Give me a call if interested.
Much Regards
Barrister Watson Burton
