Subject: Dear Friend


Dear Friend,

It is indeed my pleasure to write you this letter, which I believe
will be a surprise to you as we have never met before and I am deeply
sorry for this unusual manner of contacting you, but this particular
letter is of exceptional value and very private in nature. I know that
there is absolutely going to be a great doubt and distrust in your
heart in respect of this letter coupled with the fact that so many
individuals have taken possession of the Internet to facilitate their
nefarious deeds, thereby making it extremely difficult for genuine and
legitimate business class persons to get attention and recognition,
but it is my desire to write and reach out to you as a person based on
great fidelity and trust.
My name is Barrister. Donald Burris, an attorney at law; I am
contacting you in respect of a business transaction that required your
urgent attention. My client Engr. Felipe Gordon and his family died in
a car accident on the 7th of August, 2003 and even till now, I have
been unable to locate any of his relative. Before his death, he was an
oil merchant and made a Deposit of ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY EIGHT
MILLION, FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND USD (148,500,000.00 USD) with a
Bank(name withheld). This fund was set to be used in setting up a GAS
PLANT PROJECT IN ASIA.
The fund has remained unclaimed and the Bank will take over this fund
if I do not present anyone to claim it. I am seeking for your urgent
assistance to stand as the Next of kin to the deceased and receive
this fund into your account, as all documentations will be carefully
worked out by me for the funds to be released in your favor as the
sole beneficiary of the deposited fund. It may interest you to know
that I have secured from the probate, an order of mandamus from the
court to locate any of deceased families, please endeavor to
furnishing me with your full contact information to enable me to file
letter of claim to the appropriate departments for necessary approvals
in your favor before you can personally appear for the claim. I will
provide all vital documents to legalize your status in the claim.

Please note that your share of the fund is 40% for you and 60% for
me, I believe that this is a fair deal. If this proposal is acceptable
to you, Please contact me at once to indicate your interest, then I
will now present you to the bank as the next of Kin to my late client
and then, the proceedings for the transfer has been perfected by me to
protect you from any breach of the law and your involvement is 100%
risk free. Kindly contact me on my private email: [email protected]
for more details.

I am waiting for your urgent reply.

Yours truly,
Barr. Donald Burris Esq.
