Mr.Henry Razak , a foreigner,who use to work with Jangle Cement Company here
in Nigeria, on the 2nd of Dec. 2002, my client and his wife ,got involved in
a car accident, all occupants of the vehicle 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 to trace his relatives over the internet, to
locate any member of his family but of no avail, hence I contacted you. I
have contacted you to assist in repartrating the fund left behind by my late
client because the bank have asked me as his lawyer to produce his next of
kin.
Particularly, Bank have given me a notice to provide the next of kin to
claim the contract valued at about US$11 Million Dollars or have the amount
confisicated ,since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives for

particular amount of money US$11M but they failed because I never
authorized anybody to do that,as the principal attorney of this estate I
hereby urge your assistance to get this fund transfer into your account
legitimately which I am assuring. In some of my lawyers may contact you in
different ways concerning this claim,but don't respond to me by forwarding
