Dear Friend
,
I am Barrister pascal adams personal attorney to an Engineer, a
national of your country, who used to work with Zenon Oil Company in Africa.
My client with his entire family (The wife and the only Child) were involved
in the explosion in Africa, on January 27, 2002 which, claimed many lives
and
property. Unfortunately, my client and the family lost their lives in that
disaster that needed not to have happened. Since then I have made several
inquiries to your embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives
this
has also proved unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I
decided to track his last name over the Internet, to locate any member of
his
family hence I contacted you.
My purpose of contacting you is to assist in repatriating the money and
property left behind by my client prior to his death before they get
confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where this huge deposits
were lodged and where the deceased had an account valued at about US$15
Million dollars.
The guidelines of the bank stipulates that if any deposit remained unclaimed
for over a period of 4 years without the fund claimed, the said deposit will
be confiscated and this will happen if nobody comes for the money.The
company
had issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account
confiscated. Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for
over one year now, I seek your consent as the next of kin of the deceased so
that
the proceeds of this account valued at US$15. million dollars can be paid to
you.
I have all the necessary official and legal documents that can be used to
back up your claim. All I require is your honest co-operation to enable me
as the
legal attorney to the deceased in seeing that you receive this as an
inheritance fund. I guarantee that this will be executed legitimately to
protect you from any breach of the law.

found
this ok.
Looking forward to hear from you.
