Dear Friend,
I really do not want you to see this mail as a surprise, it took me a whole
lot of time to decide on whom to TRUST and present for this claim. I was
privileged to find you through the Internet I am a legal practitioner and
the personal attorney to late Mr. Wills a national of your country.
My client, his wife and their two children were involved in A Kenya Airways
Airbus A310 jet carrying 169 passengers and 10 crew members crashed into the
sea Sunday night, shortly after takeoff from Abidjan. The flight originated
in Nairobi and was meant to stop over in Lagos but flew directly to Abidjan
because of weather conditions over Lagos.
In view of this please view the web pages below:

My client was a successful and an accomplished gentleman. I have made
several attempts through your embassy to locate any surviving relative as to
reconcile his estate. In addition, the Internet was used to no avail.
Recently, I came across your name to utmost amazement discovered that you
both bear the same surname and from the same country.
At stake is all of these, is a deposit of U$D 5. 9 M (Five million nine
hundred Thousand US dollars) in my client domiciliary account here with one
of the commercial bank.
After my client’s demise, his bankers instructed me to contact his next of
kin for the legal transfer of the above stated amount.
There is a stipulation that the next of kin must be identified within a
given period or the money will be forfeited as abandoned. The abandoned
property degree of 1996 gives the bank a legal authority for such a
decision. I am convinced that you may be linked with my late client or that
you might be able to provide a clue. I therefore, decided to contact you
based on the already mentioned similarities. With every sense of
professionalism, coupled with fairness, it will be legally proper to present
you as the next of kin. If you so agree, the sum of U$D 5. 9 M (Five million
nine hundred thousand US dollars) will be transferred to you, your share of
the funds is 40% and 60% for me.
Be rest assured that as you comply to my directing this transaction will be
executed in a legitimate arrangement that will prevent you from any breach
of law in your country as it would be back with official documentation
endorsed by the supreme court of Nigeria to legalize the claim of this
transaction.
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us conclude this
transaction successfully.
Be rest assured this will be executed through a legitimate process that will
absolutely protect you from any breach of law.
Please get in touch with me at your earliest convenience.
Ben Olokoya (Esq.)
