DEAR SIR/MADAM,
I am Barrister Richard Clark, a legal practitioner, I am the personal
attorney to late mr Michael (CEO), who used to work with Chevron Nigeria
limited,here in Nigeria. On the 27th of January 2002, my client, his wife
and their three children were involved in Ikeja bomb blast here in my
country. My client and his family unfortunately lost there lives. Since then
I have made several enquiries to locate any of my clients extended
relatives,this has also proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided and do some research in
the internet, to locate any member of his family. Hence I contacted you.I
have contacted you to assist me in repatriating the money and property left
behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable
by the bank where these huge deposits were lodged.Particularly, the Acess
Bank of Nigeria Plc, Lagos Branch where my client deposited 20.95million US
dollars.
The Bank has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the
Account confiscated within the next ten official working days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 3 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 20.95million US dollars can
be transferred to your account there in your country,then you and me can
share the money. I have all necessary legal documents that back up the claim
we may make. All I require is your honest co- operation to enable us see
this deal through.

will protect you from any breach of the law.Please indicate your readiness
to assist me,so that all the informations about this funds will be passed to
you immediately.You should send to me your full names and your private
telephone numbers for easy communications.And also assure me of your trust
and remember that the trust in business is confidentiality.So let it be only
between me and you.If you give me your full coperation and this transaction
is properly executed,I am prepared to give you 40% of the total sum for
your kind assistance.50% will be for me and 10% percent will be for any
expences we may incure along in this transaction.Please get in touch with me
