Dear Friend,
I hope this meets you in good health. My name is Barrister Joe Amadi
Esq.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:

My late client was an influential wealthy businessman, a Contractor in
my Country and a Russian big time Oil dealer and the Principal owner of
Oil Alliance Company and he left behind a deposit of Twelve Million, Two
Hundred Thousand United States Dollar ($12,200,000.00USD) in his domiciliary
bank account in a commercial bank here in Nigeria. Which is one of the main
reasons it has been very important to locate his next of kin.
After the death of my client his bankers 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 bankers had planned to invoke a
clause in the property Act, to confiscate the funds after the expiration
of a period given to me.
It was while i was searching for his family records on
the internet that i came across your contact.I have searched through
almost all the genealogy site that you can think of both in the
Russia,USA and all the possible places I thought my clients would have possibly
had a family member. Despairing and at the point of desperation, I came
across your name, while trying to locate documentation's regarding possible
relatives of my client in his country of origin. 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 operates
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. I seek your consent to present you
as the Next of Kin; the bank needs only the facts as presented legally.
The rest is between you and I and with my guide 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% should be for Taxes as your Government may
require, I shall assemble all the necessary Legal Documents that will be
used to back up our claim. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable
us see this deal through I guarantee that this will be executed under a
legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any Breach of law. Please
get in touch with me.
Best Regards,
Barrister Joe Amadi Esq.
