Attn: Sir/Ma,

I am Barrister mark Danis, a solicitor at law. I am the personal
attorney to the late Mr. Jim , a nationale of your country, who was a contractor
with Chevron/Texaco oil Corporation here in Nigeria. Here in after shall
be referred to me as my client.

On April 2001, my client, his wife And their three children were
involved in a car accident. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost
there lives. Since then I have made several enquiries to your embassy to
locate any of my clients extended relatives but this proved abortive.
After several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to search over the
Internet, to locate any foreigner who will be willing to participate in
this DEAL and stand as the deceased next of kin to enable me perfect some
documentation in his/her name hence I contacted you. I have contacted you
to assist in repartrating the money and property left behind by my client
before they get confisicated or declared unserviceable by the bank where
this huge deposits were lodged.

Particularly, the the bank where the deceased had an account valued at
about US$7.5 million has issued me a notice to provide his next of kin

or have the account confisicated within the next 14 official working
days. since I have been unsuccesful in locating the relatives for over 5
years now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the
deceased so that the proceeds of this account valued at US$7.5 million can
be paid to you, and then you and I can share the money on the percentage
we shall agree on. I have some necessary legal documents that can be used
to back up this claim.

All I require is your honest and co-operation to enable us pull this
deal through. I guarantee that this is 100% risk free and will be
executed under legitimate arrangement.

Please get in touch with me through my private
email:markdenis00@yahoo.com so that we can proceed fast as time is no longer
on our side. Remember to include your private telephone number so that I
can call you for further discussion.

Hope you understand the confidential nature of this transaction and am
also waiting for your fast response.

Best regards,
Barrister mark Danis (Esq).
