Dear Friend,

Before I introduce myself, I wish to inform you that this letter is not a hoax and I urge you to treat it with the seriousness it deserves. This letter must come to you as a big surprise, but I believe it is only a day that people meet and become great friends and business partners. This is a personal and private mail directed to you and I request that it be treated as such. My name is Michael Elliott. I was the personal assistance /sole executor to late Patrick Arnault, An European, hereafter referred to as 'My late Boss'. He was an independent oil magnate here in Europe. He died in a car crash with his immediate family on the 4th of Oct 2003. Since the death of my boss in Oct 2003, I have tried to locate any of his extended relatives whom shall be claimant / beneficiary of his abandoned monetary deposit and all such efforts have been to no avail.

About a week ago, I received a letter suggesting a likely proceeding for confiscation of his deposit in line with existing laws by the storage firm in which my boss deposited the sum of Forty Million British Pounds. On this note I decided to search for a credible person to present as the Next of Kin to his Estate. I am contacting you that I may, with your consent, present you to the "trustee" storage firm as my late boss surviving family member so as to enable you put up a claim to the storage firm in that capacity as a next of kin of my late Boss. I propose that 40% of the net sum will accrue to you at the conclusion of this deal, while I retain the balance of 60%

Therefore, to facilitate the immediate receiving of this fund, you need firstly, signify your interest by contacting me via e-mail, and as soon as I obtain your confidence, I will immediately appraise you with the complete details. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this proposal is hitch-free and that you should not entertain any fears as all necessary arrangements have been made for you to successfully receive the fund in your possession within 10 working days of signifying your interest. Like I said, I require only a solemn confidentiality on this. Please, include your Name, Address, Private and confidential Phone and Fax numbers in your reply for easy communication.

Best regards,
Michael Elliott
