Subject: NEXT OF KIN TO YOU
Dear Friend ,
I am Barrister James Eke ,a solicitor at law. I am the personal attorney to
Late Mr.Anders Jarmo, who used to work with Shell Oil Development Company
in Nigeria. Here in after shall be referred to as my client.
On May 4, 2002 my Client, his wife and their two children were involved in a
fatal air disaster. My Client and his family together with other persons had
boarded the ill-fated Executive Airlines Services (EAS Airlines) which took
off from Aminu Kano International Airport and crash at Gwamaja on the
outskirts of Kano City killing all passengers on board. Since then I have
made several enquiries to his embassy to locate any of my clients extended
relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his relatives
over the Internet, to locate any member of his family, hence I had to
contact you. I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money left
behind by my client before they get confiscated or
declared unserviceable by the bank where this huge deposit were lodged.
Particularly, the Continental Trust Bank where the deceased had a deposit
valued at about Ten Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars (USD
10.5M) has issued me a notice to provide the next-of-kin or have the account
confiscated within the 6 weeks.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over a 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$10.5 Million can be paid
to you and then you and I can share the money.
I would like you to contact me once you receive this mail indicating your
interest in this to enable me give you more details of the modus operandi of
getting this money paid to you by the Bank. I am willing to give you US$4 M
out of the entire sum for your assistance in getting this fund and I shall
make arrangements on how to meet you at the appropriate time for the
disbursement.
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 the law. Please get in touch with me
immediately as I do not have much time in my disposal.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated co-operation.

Best Regards,
Barr. James Eke
