LAGOS NIGERIA.
Sir\Madam,
My name is Barrister David Oforka a solicitor at law.Iam the Personal attorney
to late Engr. Mark Stephen.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

have since been buried.May thier Soul rest in peace! Please see the following

Before his death, Mr. Mark Stephen has a deposit with a finance firm. THe
bank has mandated me to provide the next-of-kin to the man within three
weeks or else the money will be confiscated.Since then I have made several
enquiries to locate any of my clients extended relatives, this has also proved
unsuccessful. To this effect, I have made several efforts to locate any relative
of the man but have failed to make any meaningful progress.No other person
knows about this account or any thing concerning it, the account has no other
beneficiary and my investigation proved to me that his supposed next of kin
died along with him in the crash.Consequently, Since I have been unsuccessful
in
locating the relatives . I seek your consent to present you as the beneficiary
of the funds so that the proceeds of this account valued at US$22.5 million
can be paid to you and then you and me can share the money. 70% to me and
30% toyou. I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back
up any claim we may make.
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 admnistration obtained from
the probate Registry which will authorise the release of the funds to you.
This documents and some others will be notarised and orwarded to the legal
department of the Bank for
vetting and approval. As you can see everything will follow a normal legal
process,thereby assuring you that you are not exposing yourself to any legal
problem. I will back up all necessary documents that will be required from
the court.
You dont have to worry about any risk. All I require is your honest co-operation
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 the
law.If this proposal is acceptable to you, kindly email your following information
to me:
a. Your Full name and a contact address as you want to appear in the payment
documents
b. Private telephone number
c. Private fax number
d. Also inform me on how you want the funds to be paid to you.
As you can see time is of great essence as the bank has given me deadline.
Contact me so that I will give you more information and forward all necessary
documents that will clarify you more on the legitimate of the process.But
were you are not capable to do this transaction, please let me know so that
I can look for another person that will be capable. I expect to hear from
you immediately. Reply me through this email
