Dear Friend,

I know this mail will surely come to you as a
surprise, considering the fact that we don't know
each other and I must apologize for any embarrassment
this may have caused you.
Although you are not the only person
whose name and email address is listed on the internet
from where I got your contact, but I took some factors
into consideration before arriving at the decision to
contact you which you will find out as you read on.
Let me start by formally introducing My self to you, I
am Barrister Martin Billings, a Legal Practitioner and
Head of Chambers of an International accredited Law
Firm Based in UK. I am also Attorney to Late Mr.
Chris J. Hall an expatriate who was resident in
UK before his demise early in 2005 from CARDIAC ARREST.

He had a heart attack following the sad news of the
death of his beloved wife Carol Hall and children during the
2004 Tsunami disaster while on vacation in Thailand.
My said client was a consultant to Oil Prospecting
Companies in UK and a very wealthy man. I was
his personal Attorney for a period of three years.
Though an immigrant, he lived most of
his lifetime in UK and took here as a home, since
according to him he was raised up in an orphanage,
having been abandoned by his mother at birth.

Now to the brass tack, the deceased took a life
Insurance Policy that entitles any Surviving member of
his family to a whooping sum of GBP 5,000,000.00 in
the event of his death. Unfortunately his wife and
children who are his next of kin are no more and under
the existing law here the Surviving relatives of the
deceased by extension of family lineage becomes
the benefactor which to the best of my knowledge is
non-existing considering his background. So far my
efforts to recover his financial entitlements yielded
no result as the management of the insurance company
insisted they will only release the fund to the
deceased surviving relative, whereby his wife and
children who statutorily would have inherited the
money are no more.

I am contacting you based on divine guidance as i have been
praying over this matter for months, so that we can work out a
modality to make use of what he left in my care before his sudden
demise though, it does not suggest you are
related. Be that as it may, I wish to solicit for your
co-operation in assisting me recover the fund by
permitting me to present you as a relation to the
deceased. I am very optimistic that it would workout
if you follow my directives, which I will brief you
upon your response.

I am not pursuing this claim for selfish reason, it is
a professional responsibility I owe my late client,
and you will be adequately rewarded for you assistance
in this endeavor. You shall receive 30% of the total
amount involved for your role in this endeavor.
Expecting to hear from you as soon as possible.

Dear Buck,Thank you for your encouraging mail, I am very elated with
your intimidating profile and I believe that with your maximum
co-operation we shall accomplished result.

As I explained to you for me to achieve my set objective, I
need a foreign collaborator who will stand as the deceased extended relative
since his immediate biological family that statutorily would have inherited the
insurance benefit are dead. So that was the reason that I desperately need your
assistance in this regard.

To facilitate the release of the fund to you there are
important legal steps that must be observed. I need to swear an affidavit
attesting to your relationship with the deceased; it is on the strength of the
affidavit that I will formally present you to the insurance company as the
deceased next of kin.

I will appreciate if you will furnish me with your full contact address,
occupation, age, nationality and telephone number, to enable me proceed
with the court process.

Regards,
Martin

Dear Williams,

How are you today? I have commenced the necessary
legal process. I have deposed an affidavit at the court as required by
law, attesting to your relationship with my deceased
client. I have also notified the insurance company
accordingly. They promised that as soon as you fulfill
the necessary legal requirements that they will instruct their
affiliate bank to release the fund to you.

Having deposed the affidavit, I want you to write to
the insurance company formally introducing yourself
as the deceased next of kin and requesting the release
of the fund to you, so that it would be on their
records in the events the probate decides to make
reference to them, they will affirm to that. Find

Your effort will be highly appreciated, and hope to hear from you soon.

Dear Mr. William,

How are you? I feel at this stage we should trust each other. This is
the final stage of this transaction and we are beginning to cast doubt
on each others sincerity.

My Patrick Cole is my employee and my secretary. I wouldn't have time to
go and pick up the money at the bank, because of my very tight schedule.
This is the simple reason why i wanted you to send the money in my
secretary's name.

Nevertheless, if you will be more comfortable sending the money in my
name, then go ahead and do it.

Receiver's name: Martin Billings
Location: London UK.
Text Question: Colour of my car.
Answer: Red.

Please remember to forward to me The transfer information Like the Name
and address of the sender, MTCN (Control) number and amount sent. My
dear we really need to hasten up to see if we can conclude this
transaction before the end of the week. As you are already aware, my

Dear Mr. Martin Billings;

I am the manager of the Sundance ranch, a cattle ranch and mining property
located in Southern California, 40 miles from the nearest town of Bernadino.

I have been informed that as a designated corporation officer, I must report
all finanical transactions to the Califoria Office of Taxation.

This is a state law which was passed by the legislature and signed by
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger on November 2, 2007.

I have to submit the completed form to Western Union in order to send money
out of the State of California.

Please fill out the attached form and return it to me.

I went into the Western Union office this morning and they told me that I
needed a form filled out by the recipient of the money.

William

Thank you for your email and the signed form.

I was out working on the ranch all day today due to a horrific dust storm
which stampeded some of the cattle and caused them to run into the mountains
where they had to be found and rounded up.
We have spent all of today rounding them up so I could not come into town
to visit the bank.
