Dear Friend,

It is with trust and belief that I write to you this day as my confidence is reposed in you to assist me in executing this urgent business opportunity for our mutual benefits.

I am Barrister Hamza Ahmed (Esq) a Nigerian national and an Attorney based here in Lagos. I had a client named Mr. Steve Wilkie, a national of USA. Brand manager with Levi Strauss Silver tab clothing Firm. On January 31 2000, my client unfortunately lost his life in the plane crash of Alaska Airlines Flight 261.Alongside 87 other passengers. You may read more about the crash on visiting this site.http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/ Since then we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin or relatives to come over so that we apply claim for this money because the bank cannot release it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or elation to the deceased as indicated in the banking guidelines.

I have made several contacts to all the listed numbers indicated in his documents and they are all not in use which means he may had not want any body to know of this deposit. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace some one over the internet in order to locate a trusted person; hence I contacted you as his supposed relative since you are also a foreigner.

Please I want you to assist me in repatriating the money left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Oceanic Finance company here in London where these huge deposits were lodged.He had an account valued at about US$20M (Twenty Million US Dollars)and now the finance company has issued me a notice to provide the next-of-kin or have the account free zed within the next ten official working days. Since I have succeeded in locating you today as his relative, hence I hereby seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased so that the proceeds of this account valued at US$20M can be paid to you and then you and I can share the money, 50% to me and 50% to you.

To present you as the next of kin will pose no difficulty as there is no risk involved. I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any claim we may make. All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us see this transaction through. I guarantee that this business proposal to you is 100% real and will be executed under a legitimate arrangement without any problem at all. I await your urgent response and note that you are the only person I have contacted for now and any delay will make me to contact another person for the same transaction. Immediately you receive this message so that I will give you further details. Remember to include your own private or mobile cell phone with which I can equally reach you.

Anticipating your prompt response.
Yours Sincerely,
Hamza Ahmed (Esq.)
