Dear Partner
 
Good day, firstly, I apologize for sending you this sensitive information 
via e-mail instead of a Certified mail/Post-mail. This is due to the  
urgency and importance of the information. I humbly crave your indulgence 
to read this e-mail with all seriousness of purpose because this project 
is based on Trust,confidentiality and sincerity of purpose in  order to 
have an acceptable meeting of the minds. I am a fifty two(52)years old 
established lawyer. My name is Mr. Christain Bell,a solicitor
 and  personal attorney to an expatriate and a  consultant with an 
American Oil company,PENNZOIL (Now deceased) He died in the Tsunami 
disaster on 26th december 2004 while on vacation in  Thailand.
 
Six years ago, My Client successfully executed a contract for the  Federal 
Government of Nigerian {FGN} worth US$18.3 million dollars. A part  
payment of USD9.million dollars was paid to my client, while the balance 
of USD9.3 million Dollars was still unpaid before my client died in the 
Indian Ocean Tsunami disaster. However, all my efforts to locate the 
possible next of kin proved abortive. Untill his sudden demise, He was not 
married and was 44years old.
 
NOW THE CRUX OF THIS E-LETTER is that the new elected Government Of 
Nigerian is fully paying all foreign Contractors who have successfully 
executed their contracts and my client is among those benefited in this 
first quarter payment schedule which has already been deposited in his 
bank. As his personal attorney/Adviser, his bank has officially notified 
and instructed me to forward particulars of my client's next of kin within 
the next 14 official working days so that he/she can be paid the
 outstanding USD9.3 Million dollars otherwise his payment will be diverted 
to the government coffers account as uncliamed bill.
 
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating any of his relatives, I decided 
to contact you for a deal so that we can work together as a team to remit 
the money to your account as my client next of kin since I do not want to 
seat and watch my client hard earned entittlement to go astray,it will be 
easy for us to achieve because you are of the same name
 and country like him. Although I know that a transaction of this 
magnitude might make anyone apprehensive but I would like to assure you 
that I am proposing this project to you with the best of intensions. As a 
lawyer, I have the power to secure all the necessary legal documents that 
will be used for this claim. All I require from you is your honest 
co-operation to enable us see this deal through. I guarantee that this 
transaction will be executed under a Legitimate banking arrangement that 
will protect you from any breach of law. Upon successful conclusion of 
this project,you will be compensated with 40% of the total fund,while 60% 
will be for me.
 
I await your urgent reply with your personal telephone/fax number for 
effective communication and oral clarification on how to proceed next.
 
Sincerely yours,
 
Mr.Christain Bell
