Hello,

I hope this email will find you well. This e-mail may come as a shock but
I apologize and I hope that after you have gone through it, you will
understand and be relieved of any fears.

I decided to contact you out of desperation due to the situation at hand. I
am Mr. Kelvin Roberts, a personal banker/financial adviser to Mr. Mark
Atkins, from (USA), who used to work as a contractor in South Africa
referred to as my client.

On the 30th of August 2011, my client, and his only daughter were involved
in a boat accident in South Africa. All occupants of the boat unfortunately
lost their lives, Since then I have made several inquiries from here to
locate any extended relatives, which has proved unsuccessful for me, after
these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to search through with his
last name which motivated me to contact you, to locate any member of his
family, hence I contacted you.

I have contacted you to assist me in repatriating his estate valued $17.3
million left behind before it gets confiscated or declared serviceable by
the bank. The Bank has issued me (as his personal banker/financial adviser)
a notice to provide a next of kin or have his account confiscated. Since I
have been unsuccessful in locating any of his relative for over 5 years
now, I seek your consent to present you as next of kin to the deceased,
since you share the same last names, so that the proceeds of this account
can be paid to you.

Therefore, on receipt of your positive response, we shall then discuss the
modalities for transfer. as I have all necessary information and legal
documents needed to back you up the claim, all that I require from you is
your honest cooperation to enable us see this transaction through, I
guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that will
protect you from any breach of the law. Please if you are interested get
back to me for more details.

I await your response at your earliest convenience

Yours truly,
