FROM:BAKKER & McKENZIN & PARTNERS ASSOCIATES, S CAREY RUSSIAN
Let me start by introducing myself. I am Barrister Baker $ Mckenzin,the Principal
Solicitor and Advocate of
BAKER & McKENZIN & PARTNERS ASSOCIATES ,S. Carey, Russian. I am 59years old
and have been practicing Law for the past 26year. I am married with three
children.
I was the Lawyer and Investment Consultant to General Ibrahim Moussa of the
Iraq Armed Forces, before the last American Invasion of the country. I assisted
him to make a fixed Deposit of $48,500,000.00 (fourty eight millions, Five
Hundred Thousand United State Dollars only) in an International bank. Upon
maturity several notices were sent to him during the war and there was no
response. Again after the war another notification was sent and still no
response came from him. We later find out that the General and his family
were killed during the war in a bomb blast that hit their residential quarters.
After further investigation it was also discovered that Gen. Ibrahim Moussa
did not declare any next of kin in his official papers including the paper
work of his bank deposit. And he also confided in me the last time he was
at my office that no one except me knew of his Investment via my Law Office.
He Kept is Certificate of Deposit his Certificate of Deposit with our Law
Office in trust. The fourty eight millions, Five Hundred Thousand United
State Dollars is still lying in the bank and no one will ever come forward
to claim it.
What bothers me most is that according to the banking laws, if an account
has existed for a long time without any operation, it will be classified
as dormant, if the account remains dormant for three years and all effort
to contact the fund beneficiary fails, the fund will be reverted to the ownership
of the government.
Against this background, my suggestion to you is that I will like you as
a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to Gen. Ibrahim Moussa so that you
will be able to receive his funds either in cash or transferred into your
bank account. I will now travel from Russian, to your country, where we will
share the fund according to our agreed sharing ratio and also invest my share
in profitable business ventures in your country.
WHAT IS TO BE DONE:
I want you to know that I have had everything planned out so that we shall
come out successful. I will prepare the necessary document that will back
you up as the next of kin to Gen. Ibrahim Moussa. I will hand over the original
Deposit Certificate to you and POWER OF ATTORNEY or Letter of Authority,
with which you will be able to collect this fund. All that is required from
you at this stage is for you to provide me with your Full Names and Address,
Telephone and fax number, so that I can commence this job.
After you have been made the next of kin, I will file in an Application for
Claims on your behalf and secure the necessary approval and letter of probate
in your favor for the transfer of the fund to your designated account that
will be provided by you.
There is no risk involve in this business since I will handle everything
legally and ensure all the necessary documents are in place. I will like
to negotiate with you, what will be your percentage share for the assistance
you are going to provide to me in this respect. It will also be necessary
for us to enter into a legal agreement for the sake of this transaction.

and ascertain that you are honest and capable of handling this business to
a logical conclusion.
