    Dear Friend,

    I presume this letter will come to you as a surprise, but as things
    unfold, we will know each other better. I will start by introducing me to
    you. My name is Barrister Michael Davis a solicitor at law.

    I am writing in respect of a foreigner Engineer Worley R., who happens to
    be my client an oil merchant and contractor who perished in a plane crash
    of 31st October 1999[WITH EGYPTIAN AIRLINE 990] with other passengers
    aboard.

    http://www.cnn.com/US/9910/31/egyptair.03/

    Since the demise of my client I personally have searched with keen
    interest to see the next of kin but all has proved abortive as no one has
    come to claim his funds of US$35.5m (Thirty Five Million Five Hundred
    Thousand United States Dollar) and all the relevant documents in the bank
    has no record of any next of kin. On this note, I decided to seek for whom

    his name shall be used as his next of kin so I have contacted you to
    assist in repatriating most especially, the money left behind by my client
    before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where
    the huge deposits were lodged.

    Particularly, the Central Bank Nigeria Plc where the deceased had an
    account valued at about USD 35.5 million dollars has issued me a notice to
    provide the Next of kin, or have the account confiscated.

    I seek your consent to present you as the Next of kin of the deceased, I
    need somebody who is trustworthy and willing to assist me gets the funds
    transferred. Which the account which my late client operates is valued at
    Usd35.5 million dollars can be paid to you, as my clients Next of Kin, and
    then we can share the amount on a mutual agreed percentage.

    All legal documents to back up your claim as the deceased Next of Kin will
    be provided. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us seeing
    this deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate
    arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law and you
    should endeavor to keep it confidential.

    Please get in touch with me at (mr_michael_davis_2008@hotmail.com) to enable us
    discuss further

    about this transaction.

    Regards,
    Mr.Michael Davis.
