Dear Hoekstra,
I am highly delighted to be in contact with you and
sorry for the embarrassment this mail might be to you
as we have not met or known each other before.
Firstly,let me introduce myself.I am Barrister
J.K.Clark Esq.,an attorney of law. I am the personal
attorney to late Mr.Roy J.Hoekstra,a national of your
country, possibly could be your brother or close
relation, who used to work with Anglo-Dutch oil giant,
Shell Petroleum and Development Company(SPDC) in
Nigeria,here-in-after shall be referred to as my
client.
On the 23rd of August 2002, my client, his wife and
their two children were involved in a plane crash in
2002 through the EAS airline,you may visit the
following websites to read more about the incidence.

Since then I have made several inquiries to your
embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives
but this has proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided
to track his last name over the Internet, to locate
any member of his family hence I contacted you.
I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the
money and property left behind by my client before
they get confiscated, frozen or declared unserviceable
by the bank where these huge deposits were lodged.
Particularly, one of the commercial Bank here where
the deceased had an investment account valued at
Twelve Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States
Dollars only (US$12,500,000:00).
The management of the Bank has issued me a notice to
provide the next of kin or have the account frozen
within the next ten[10] official working days or have
his fund confiscated.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the
relatives for over one year now, I seek your consent
to present you as the next of kin of the
deceased since you have the same last name with him so
that the proceeds of this account valued at
U.S$12,500,000.00 can be paid to you and then you and
I can share the money on 60%/40% basis.
It is instructive to note that I have all the
necessary legal documents that can be used to back up
any claim we might make.
And these I must do to make sure that this fund is not
wasted or end up in the wrong hands. All I require is
your honest co-operation to enable us seeing this deal
through. I guarantee that this will be executed
under a legitimate arrangement that will protect all
parties involved from any breach of the law.
Please your favourable reply is urgently needed
through my private email address of
"attorneyjkentonclark@yahoo.co.uk " stating your private
address and telephone and fax numbers.
Best regards,
Barrister J.K.CLARK, Esq. (SAN)
