Subject: Goodday.
Good day Sir,
My name is Mr.Femi Adams an attorney and personal Lawyer to
late Engr. Mark Stephen estate. Engr. Mark Stephen was a
Member of board of directors of some blue chip companies .He
retired in 1992 and Started oil lifting business till his
death on the 4th of May 2002 in a plane crash in which his
wife and two children died.They have since been buried. May
their Soul rest in Peace!
Please see the following website for information about
the plane crash Wereover100 people died:

Engr. Mark until his death made some good money for himself
and family While in active service and in his business since
he has several oil blocks both in Angola and Congo.
The reason for my contacting you is that there was a Deposit
he has with Logoon Internatioal Bank Nigeria PLC amounting
to US$15.5Million. This deposit has been in the volt of
Lagoon International Bank PLC for close to two years after
the Man's death. The Management of the Bank has mandated me
to provide the next-of-kin to the man within two weeks or
else the money will be Confiscated.
To this effect, I have made several efforts to locate any
relative of the man but have failed to make any meaningful
Progress.The Bank's requirement in this kind of Situation is
that once somebody comes forward as the next of kin of a
late customer With necessary prove, the money will be
processed and wired to that.person. But if nobody show up,
after three years the money will be deposited into unclaimed
funds account Now that the deadline given is at hand, I
would like you to assist me in recovering this money from
the Bank as the man's next-of-kin. There Will be all
necessary documentation to see to this.The procedure for
approval is simple once you indicate your interest, an
affidavit of claim will be made and a letter of
administration obtained from the probate Registry which will
authorize the release of the funds to you.This documents and
some others will be notarized and forwarded to the
Management of Lagoon Internatioal Bank PLC for Vetting.
After that, the document will be forwarded to the office of
the Managing Director for approvals.So you can see that
there is no risk in this transaction. Everything will be
properly arranged.
As you can see time is of great essence as the Management of
Lagoon Internatioal Bank PLC has given me deadline. Contact
me through my personal email/direct telephone number
2348033273237
I expect to hear from you immediately.
Regards,
Mr Femi Adams.
