Dear Partner,

This is a personal email directed to you and I request that it be treated as
such.

Greeting to you, the inspiration to contact you is simply divine providence, I
Am making this proposition because I have to seek the partnership of a
resourceful person to help me realize this project.

I am George L. Savvides, attorney/sole executor to the late Mr. Jacob Smith
Johnson
, hereinafter referred to as my client' who worked as an independent oil
magnate in my country and who died in a car crash with his immediate family on
the 4th
of Oct, 2003.

Since the death of my client in 4th of Oct, 2003, I have tried to
locate any of
his extended relatives whom shall be claimants/beneficiaries of his abandoned
personal estate and all such efforts have been to no avail.

More so, I have received official letters in the last few weeks suggesting a
likely proceeding for confiscation of his abandoned personal assets in line
with existing laws by the bank in which my client deposited the sum of $12.2
million (USD).

My client was a successful and an accomplished family man, who made enough
fortune before his untimely death. He left behind a large deposit in his
investment account in financial institution here upon his death the financial
institution contacted me as his attorney to provide them with a next of kin,
Extended family member or Foreign partner since the families he provided as
next of kin for the claim died with him in the crash leaving a vacuum to be
filled.

I propose that 35% of the net sum will accrue to me at the conclusion of this
deal in so far as I do not incur further expenses.

Therefore, to facilitate the immediate reprofiling of this fund, you need,
first to contact me via this email signifying your interest and as soon as I
obtain your confidence, I will immediately appraise you with the complete
details as well as fax you the documents, with which you are to proceed and I
shall direct on how to put up an application to the bank.

However, you will have to accent to an express agreement which I will forward
to you in order to bind us in this transaction.

Upon the receipt of your reply, I will send you by fax or E-mail the next step
to take. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this proposal is hitch-
free and that you should not entertain any fears as the required arrangements
have been made for the completion of this transfer.

Like I said, I require only a solemn confidentiality on this.

Best regards,
George Savvides,
Partner Corporate & Fiduciary Group
