Subject: STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL.


From: James Nwaogu (Esq.)
JN & Associates. Solicitors & Advocates.

I am Barr. James Nwaogu, a Lawyer by profession. I am the personal attorney
to Mr. Charles Poulsen who worked for the Chevron Oil Exploration Company
in Nigeria, herein after shall be referred to as my client.

On the 21st of April 2000, my client, his wife and their three children
were involved in a car accident along Lagos - Ibadan express road. All occupants
of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives. Since then I have made several
enquiries to your embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives.
This has proved unsuccessful. i am looking for the relations or the family
of this my good client. may his gentle soul rest in peace i pray.

I came to know about you through an enquiry I was making in the internet,
and came across your wonderful profile which is why I have decided to contact
you, if you can act as the next of kin to this my late client or you have
the same name with him it will be more better.

Particularly, the Credit Trust Finance Limited where the deceased had an
account valued at about US$ 10.5 Million Dollars, has issued me a notice
to provide the next of kin or have the account confisticated within the
next 21 official working days.

Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 2 years
now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased
since you share the same second name so that the proceeds of
this account valued at US$10.5 Million Dollars can be paid to you and then
you and me can share the money, on the ratio of 60% for me, and 40% for
you. I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back
up any claim we may make.

All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us see this business
through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement
that will protect you from any breach of the law.

Please get in touch with me by email and send to me your telephone and fax
numbers to enable us discuss further about the details of this transaction.
Please reply me through this althernative email address jnchambers2002@keromail.com


Best regards,

Barr.James Nwaogu (Esq)
