Dear Friend
How are you today??I hope all is well with you.
I am Barrister Festus, solicitor.I am the personal Attorney to Mr.P.S.Hans, my client,his wife and their three children were involved in a car accident along bells Express road. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives.Since then I have made several enquiries to his Embassy to locate any of my client's extended relatives,this has also proved unsuccessful.After these several unsuccessful attempts,I decided to trace his relatives over the internet,to locate any member of his family but of no avail,hence I contacted you.
I have contacted you to assist in repartrating the money and property left behind by my client before they get confisicated or declared unserviceable by the security company,where this huge deposits were lodged Particularly,security company were the deceased had deposit value of $8 million united states dollars,has issued me a notice to provide thae next of kin or have the deposit confisicated within the next three official working months.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over years now, I seek your concent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased so that the proceeds of this deposit value at $8 million united states dollars can be paid to you and then you and me will share the money 60%to me and 30% to you,while 10% shiiould be for expenses or tax as your government may require,I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any claim we may make.
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal through.I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.You have to assure me that you will not sit on the fund when it is finally claimed.
Please get in touch with me through e-mail to enable us discuss further.
Best Regards,

What about the Festus on "Gunsmoke"? Ask him if he went into law after his phenominal TV career...

Hahaha, Congratulations!!!!! You are SO lucky indeed. You are going to be filthy rich soon. This Barrister is a very detailed person. He even went to to extent of getting an appropriately fitting address - Bull Ave, but he omiitted the "In" in "Visible Chambers" or maybe its there, but just "can't be seen".
