London EC4Y 1AA,
United Kingdom.

Good Day,

This is a personal email directed to you and I request that it be treated as
such. I am Donald Burr, a personal attorney/sole executor to the late Mr.
Robert, hereinafter referred to as my client who worked  as an independent oil
magnate in my country and who died in a car crash with his immediate family in
east London on the 5th of November 2001.

My late client a formal Sub-Comptroller working with Chevron Texaco Oil here in
the United Kingdom and had left behind a deposit of Nine Million Eight Hundred
Thousand British Pounds Sterling only(£9.8million)with a bank . After the death
of my client, the finance company contacted me, as his attorney to provide his
next of kin who should inherit his fortune, this according to them is their
policy in sure circumstances.

Since the death of my client, I have written several letters to the embassy with
an intent to locate any of his extended relatives whom shall be
claimants/beneficiaries of his abandoned personal estate and all such efforts
have been to no avail. I had to inform the finance company about my fruitless
effort in locating my late client close relative or his next  of kin.

The board of directors of the company just adopted a resolution and I was
mandated to provide his next of kin for the payment of this money within the
next 15 official working days or forfeit the money as an abandoned funds. The
company had planned to invoke the abandoned property decree of the company to
confiscate the funds after the expiration of the period  given me. Also I have
received official letters in the last two days suggesting a likely proceeding
for confiscation of his abandoned personal assets in line with existing laws of
the institution.

Well I have reason very professionally and I can use a legal means to present a
next of kin of my deceased client. this is legally possible and  would be done
in accordance with the laws of the land. On this note I decided to search for a
credible person and finding that you bear a similar last name, I was urged to
contact you, that I may, with your consent, present you to the “trustee” as my
late client’s family member so as to enable you put up a claim to the bank in
that capacity as a next of kin of my client. I find this possible for the fuller
reasons that you are of the same nationality and you bear a similar last name
with my late client making it a lot easier for you to put up a claim in that
capacity. I have all vital documents  that would confer you the legal right to
make this claim and would make them available to you so that the proceeds of
this bank account valued at £9.8million can be paid to you before it gets
confiscated or declared  unserviceable to the bank where this huge amount is
lodged.

I do sincerely sympathize the death of my client but I think it is unprofitable
for his funds to be submitted to the government of this country or some
financial institution. My aim is to retrieve this funds and let it be claimed by
the deceased family name,etc. for this I seek your assistance since I have been
unable to locate the relatives for the past 4years now.

I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since you
have the same last name  giving you the advantage so that the proceeds of this
account can be paid to you and then both of us can share the money,60% to me and
40% to you. I know there might be other persons out there with the same surname
as my last client, but after a little check my instinct tells me to contact you.
Can I trust  you on this? I shall assemble all the necessary documents that will
be used to back up your claim.

I  guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will
protect you from any breach of law. I will not fail to bring to your notice that
this proposal is hitch-free and that you should not entertain any fears as the
required arrangements have been made for the completion of this transfer.

Like I said, I require only a solemn confidentiality on  this. Please get in
touch with me by my alternative email (donald03burr_esq@hotmail.co.uk) for
better confidentiality and send me your telephone and fax numbers to enable us
discuss further on this transaction. My contact number is +44-762-417-2575. If
this proposal is acceptable by you, do not take undue advantage of the trust I
have bestowed in you,Thanks for your understanding.

Kind Regards.
