Good day,

I am Barrister Anthony Clement; I have an urgent and very profitable business proposition for you that should be handled with extreme confidentiality. SUBJECT: A deceased Client of mine Late Mr. Mathew Brown whom here in shall be referred to as my client, made a numbered time Fixed Deposit for twelve calendar months valued at US$15.5 Million Dollars (fifteen Million, Five Hundred thousand United States Dollars Only in a bank. My client was a Consultant, and contractor with the South African, Solid Minerals Corporation (SSMC).Upon maturity the bank has sent a routine notification in accordance with the Company policy to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month they sent a reminder and finally it was discovered from his contract employers South Africa, Solid Minerals Corporation (SSMC) that My Client, his wife and two children died in a plane crash.

On further investigation, I found out that he died without making a Will and all attempts to trace his next of kin were fruitless. I therefore made further investigations and discovered that my client did not declare any next of kin or relations in the Deposit paperwork with the bank here. No one will ever come forward to claim it and according to the Government Law as provided in section 129 sub 63(N), Banking Edit of 1961 at the expiration of 9 years the money will revert to the ownership of the Government, if nobody applies to claim the fund. My proposition to you is to seek your consent to present you as the Next of Kin and beneficiary of my deceased client so that the proceeds of this account valued at $15.5 million can be paid to you, so we can share the amount on a mutually agreed percentage of 40% for me 40% for you and 20% for any charity organization in your Country. All legal documents to back up your claim as the deceased Next of Kin will be provided by me. Your urgent response will be highly appreciated to avoid making further contacts.

Warmest Regards.

Barrister Anthony Clement.,
