It is unfortunate to inform you that my client late (MR ADAMS) and his entire Family were involved on the 7th of July 2005 BOMB BLAST in London. Bellow website will explain more about the bomb blast to you.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7_July_2005_London_bombingsSince the death of my client, I have made several inquiries to locate any members of his extended relatives, which was unsuccessful. I have also trace his relatives over the Internet trying to locate any member of his family but of no avail. It may interest you to know that my client before his death has a Domiciliary Account worth of $12.2 Million Dollars. I am contacting you due to the mandate given to me As the Personal Attorney to Late {Mr. Larry} to provide his Next of Kin or have the amount confiscated within the next ten (10) Banking days.
NOTE: To avoid confiscating of this fund, I am contacting you to help repatriating this fund from the Finance Company before they confiscate the fund, All I required from you is honest and cooperation to enable us see this deal through.

Please get in touch with me and also forward the below information to enable me proceed for the claim of the fund with your name as the Next of Kin to my late client
1. Your Full Names and Address 2. Your Private Telephone Numbers and Fax 3. Your Age and Occupation 3. SexI have reasoned very professionally and I feel it will be legally proper to present you as the next of kin of my deceased client, so that you can be paid the funds left in his bank account. I therefore seek your consent to present you as the Next of Kin to the Deceased since you are at an advantage, bearing the same surname and equally from the same country that the proceeds of this Bank Account valued at $12.2 Million Dollars can be paid to you. We shall both share the funds. 40% for me and 55% to you, while 5% should be for Expenses or your Government may require as Tax.
