STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL !!!

FCT, Abujaa, Nigeria



ATTN: Dear partner,

Compliments of the day! It is my sincere wish to seek for your permission before drawing your attention to a very lucrative

business venture l wish to undertake with you that will be mutually

beneficial to both of us. Please do not be embarrassed since I have

not had any previous correspondence with you. I am Barrister Charles Brown, an attorney-at-law and the personal attorney to late Mr. Nabih El-Berri, a Lebanese national.

Late Mr. Nabih El-Berri was a private oil consultant/

contractor with the Shell Petroleum Development Company in Nigeria before his death, hereinafter shall be referred to as my

client. My client and his wife along with their three children died

in the Plane crash of Union Transport Africaines Flight Boeing 727

in Cotonou, Benin Republic on 25th day of December 2003. You will

read more stories about the crash on visiting these websites:

<http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/12/26/benin.crash> / or

<http://english.pravda.ru/accidents/21/97/384/11653_Aircrash.htm> l

After this tragic plane crash, I conducted several enquiries from

his country's embassies to locate his next of kin or any of his

extended relatives, but all to no avail. After these several

unsuccessful attempts, I now decided to personally contact you with

this business partnership proposal. I am contacting you to assist me

in repatriating a huge sum of money left behind by my late client

before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Finance

and Security Company where this huge deposit was lodged.

The deceased has a deposits valued presently at $12,000,000.00

(Twelve Million United States Dollars) in a Nigerian bank and the

bank has issued me a notice as his attorney to provide his next of

kin or beneficiary by will, otherwise the account would be

confiscated within the next sixty working days. Since I have been

unsuccessful in locating any of my late client's relatives for six

(6) months now, I now seek your consent to permit me present you as

the next of kin/beneficiary of the deceased so that the proceeds of

this account valued at $12 million United States Dollars can be paid

to you. With my position as the attorney to the deceased, I am

certain I can transfer this money to any of your designated bank

account that you will make available to me but with assurance that

this money will be intact pending my physical arrival in your

country for our sharing. It is not necessary you must be a blood

relation to late Mr. Nabih El-Berri, neither is it necessary

for you to bear the same surname with him. It is even not important

for you as the stand-in next of kin to be a Lebanese national.

Already, I have worked out modalities for achieving my aim of

appointing you as the next of kin as well as transfer the money

abroad for us to share. I have decided to offer you 35% of the total

sum as a reward for your effort in assisting me, while I take 50% of

the total sum. The 5% of the fund will be set aside as reimbursement

for any incidental expenses both local and international any of us

made in the course of this transaction. While we shall collectively

donate the remaining balance of 10% to Katrina Hurricane Relief Organisation.

It is my intention to transfer this money in a legitimate way, all

that I require from you is your honesty, and trust, co-operation and

confidentiality to enable us complete this transaction. The money

transfer paper work will include a certificate of origin so that the

receiving bank (your bank in this case) does not ask questions. Also

the paper work will include proper certificate that the fund being

transferred is from non-criminal sources. In short this will be a

proper and legal money transfer with apparently no risk involved.

The transaction is guaranteed to succeed without any problem.

Consider this proposal and if you are interested to work with me to

achieve my desired objective, get back to me as soon as possible so

that I furnish you with more details on how we shall proceed. Thus,

provide me with the following information:

1. Your telephone and fax numbers.

2. Your complete location address.

Finally, it is my humble prayer that the information as contained

herein be accorded the necessary attention, urgency as well as the

secrecy it deserves.

I expect your urgent response if you can be entrusted with this

money.

Best regards,

Barrister Charles Brown

The FBI says that any E-mail you get that says the person is from Nigeria is bogus. The E-mails from Nigeria scammers are one of their biggest fraud problems, but the FBI can't do anything until a crime is committed.
