Dear Henderson,

I wish to seek your assistance to execute a business deal. I am Michael Kent a lawyer based in Nigeria. I require your consent to present you as next of kin to late Jason Henderson a client of mine, an American who died in February 2005 leaving behind a large sum of money without a next of kin. With your co-operation and information available to me you can make a claim for the funds as next of kin. After release of the funds to you by the financial institution where it is lodged, we can share according to a percentage we can agree upon. If you may be of assistance, please reply for further co-operation. Best

Regards,

Michael Kent

Hello-

I am interested in the proposal which you put forth.� Please let me know
further details, such as the amount of funds and the commission which I
should expect to receive.� I look forward to wrking with you on this matter.

Thank you,

Myles Henderson

Dear Myles Henderson,
I was happy to receive a positive response from you in regards my proposal. I will throw more light into this deal for you to further understand the position of things.
The money involved amounts to $5,000,000 and it is lodged in a local financial institution. As a lawyer I am quite familiar with the processes involved when makeing inheritance claims. I will act as your local attorney to process the claims and because I am involved in the transaction, I will put in extra effort to see that everything goes on smoothly. You will be involved in this deal as much I, and for this reason after you read this e-mail I will like you to suggest to me what you feel you will deserve for playing your role for success.
I need to know more about you so we can be aquainted. I also need to have your personal information in order to process the claims . You have to send the following information
1. Full name as it appears on documents.
2. Contact address.
3. tel/fax numbers.
4. occupation/ place of work
5. Marital status
6. Age

The first two will be used to process documents to back-up the inheritance claim while the remaining four are for me to know you better. Presently I have a copy of the death certificate and before I can make a formal application to the institution for the inheritance claim, I need to swear an affidavit on your behalf stateing that I know you as a cousin and next of kin to late Jason Henderson. I will send you a text of application draft for you to sign and return to me as an attachment.

After I make the application to the Bank, I will inform you so you can stay alert because the Bank will get in contact with you. We have to agree on how you would receive the funds. If you have a good account that can receive that much money without questions from your local authorities, I will like you to inform me so I will state it in the application to the Bank, but if not we will apply for the funds to be paid out through International draft.

I look forward to haveing your phone number so we can have a detailed conversation.I hope to hear from you soon enough.

Regards,
Michael Kent

Dear Mr. Kent-

Please pardon my delay in responding.� I think that a fair transaction
fee would be 25% of the total amount.� I will also expect to be
reimbursed for any costs which I may incur during the course of this
deal.� I must be assured that you are a trustworthy and upstanding
individual.� Will it be possible for you to provide me one or two
references whom I may contact for such a purpose?� As soon as I have
confirmed your references, I will be happy to move forward with this
transaction and provide you with the additional details which you have
requested.

I do not have access to email during the weekend, so I eagerly look forward to your reply on Monday.

All the best,
Myles Henderson
