Subject: I hope this meets you in good health
From: Barrister Ahmed El-Rufai
Jauche & Associates Solicitors,

Lagos - Nigeria.
Dear Friend,
I hope this meets you in good health. My name is Barrister Ahmed El-Rufai a
Legal Practitioner
and Attorney to late Mr. Ziya Bazhayev,who died in the plane crash of Yak-40
jetliner on March
9, 2000. You may follow the Link below to read about the Plane Crash my
client lost his life:
http://www.amarillonet.com/stories/031500/usn_LA0703.001.shtml&
http://news.1chinastar.com/ll/english/61934.shtml My late client was an
influential Wealthy
Businessman,a Russian Contractor in myCountry and a Russian big time Oil
Dealer and the
Principal owner of Oil Alliance Company and he left behind a deposit of
Fifteen Million, Five
Hundred Thousand United States Dollar(US$15,500,000.00USD) in his
Domiciliary Bank Account in a
commercial bank here in Country. I have employed every method to locate any
of my clients
extended relatives but this exercise has proved unsuccessful, due to my
inability to locate any
of his relative, I now have a view of investing this fund with you, which is
my main reason of
contactingyou.
After the death of my client his Banker contacted me,as his Attorney to
provide his next of kin
who should inherit his fortune. The board of Directors of his bank adopted a
resolution and I
was mandated to provide his next of kin for the payment of this money or
forfeit the money to
the bank as an abandoned Estate. The bank had planned to invoke a clause in
the property Act, to
confiscate the funds after the expiration of a period given to me. In spite
of this and at the
point of desperation, I came across your contact, while trying to locate
documentation's
regarding possible relatives of my client in his Country of Origin. I am
believed to be
convinced that you may be able to act in locus for my late client as his
next of kin, I
therefore, decided to contact you with these facts before me, because of the
status quo. By
virtue of my brief and my closeness to the deceased, I am very much aware of
my client's
financial standing and the bank account he operated here in my country. I
have reasoned very
professionally and I feel it will be legally proper to present you as the
next of kin of my
deceased client and the sole beneficiary of his estate, so that you are be
paid the funds left
in his bank account, hence I contacted you by seeking your consent to
present you as the Next of
Kin.
The bank needs only the facts as to be presented legally. The rest is
between you and I and with
my guidiance, we can have the money paid into your account, once this is
done we shall both
share the funds. 50% to me and 40% to you, while 10% would be for all
Expenses and Taxes, as the
Law and Government may require, I shall assemble all the necessary Legal
Documents that will be
used to back up your claim. All I require is your honesty and co-operation
to enable us succeed
in this deal, I guarantee that this deal will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that
will protect you from any Breach of law. Please get in touch with me upon
the receipt of this
proposal.
Best Regards,
Barrister Barrister Ahmed El-Rufai (Esq).
