HIGH COURT REPRESENTATIVE

Dear Friend,
I hope this meets you in good health. My name is
Barrister Jones Obi.legal practitioner and Attorney to late Mr. John
Adam who died in the plane crash of Yak-40 jetliner on March 9, 2000.
Youmay follow the Link below to read about the Plane Crash my client lost
hislife:

My late client was an influential wealthy businessman, a Contractor in
my Country and a Russian big time Oil dealer and the Principal owner of
Oil Alliance Company and he left behind a deposit of Twelve Million,
TwoHundred Thousand United States Dollar ($12,200,000.00USD) in his
domiciliarybank account in a commercial bank here in Nigeria Which is one of
the
mainreasons it has been very important to locate his next of kin.
After the death of my client his bankers contacted me, as his Attorney
to provide his next of kin who should inherit his fortune. The board of
directors of his bank adopted a resolution and I was mandated to
provide his next of kin for the payment of this money or forfeit the
money to thebank as an abandoned Estate.
The bankers had planned to invoke a clause in the property Act, to
confiscate the funds after the expiration of a period given to me.
It was while i was searching for his family records on the internet
that i came across your contact.I have searched through almost all the
genealogy site that you can think of both in the Russia,USA and all the
possibleplaces I thought my clients would have possibly had a family member.
Despairing and at the point of desperation.
I cameacross your name, while trying to locate documentation's
regarding possible relatives of my client in his country of origin.
Convincedthat you may be able to act in locus for my late client as his next
of
kin.I therefore, decided to contact you with these facts before me because
of the status quo.By virtue of my brief and my closeness to the
deceased,Iam very much aware of my client's financial standing and the bank
accounthe operates here in my country.
I have reasoned very professionally and I feel it will be legally
proper to present you as the next of kin of my deceased client and the
sole beneficiary of his estate, so that you are be paid the funds left
inhis bank account, hence I contacted you. I seek your consent to present
youas the Next of Kin; the bank needs only the facts as presented legally.
The rest is between you and I and with my guide we can have the money
paid into your account, once this is done we shall both share the
funds. 50%to me and 40% to you, while 10% should be for Taxes as your
Government
mayrequire, I shall assemble all the necessary Legal Documents that will
be used to back up our claim.
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal
through I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate
arrangementthat will protect you from any Breach of law.
Best Regards,
(esq)
