Dear Sir,
I am Barr. Albert Ayodele (Esq) personal attorney to Engr.Mark Q.Ganesan,a
national of your country, who worked with Zenon Oil Company here in Nigeria
here in after,shall be referred to as my client.My client with his entire
family (The wife and Children) were among the victims of an explosion in
Lagos, Nigeria,that happened on January 27,2002 which, claimed many lives
and property. See the 2 website of the bomb explosion below: -

I have made several inquiries to your embassy after his internment to locate
any of his extended relatives, but all this has proved unsuccessful.
Consequently, I decided to track you over the Internet, to assiste me to get
this money out from the company My purpose of contacting you is to assist in
repatriating the deposited fund of US$13, Million USD that was lodged in by
my late client in a Finance Company when he was alive.
The repatriation is as a result of a fourteen days notice (ultimatum) that
has been issued to me by the Finance company requesting me to present to
them a next of kin to my late client so that the fund would be repatriated
to him/her. Failure to do that after the expiration of the ultimatum will
result in the confiscation and freezing of the account by the finance
company. For the fact that I have been unsuccessful in locating the
relatives for over 2 years plus now, I now seek your consent to present you
as the next kin to the deceased since you are a foreigner, so that the fund
would be transferred to you. Therefore, on receipt of your positive
response,
I shall officially present you to the finance company as the next of kin to
the inheritance so that they will commence the processing of your fund
transfer. I need your assistance and co-operation to get this deal done.
Because as a foreigner,you stand a better position to be presented through
documentation as the next of kin/Partner since the deceased is also a
foreigner, this is the reason why I could not do this deal alone as a
Nigerian and a Blackman as well. I will not fail to inform you that this
transaction is 100% risk free. On smooth conclusion of this transaction,you
will be entitled to 35% of the total sum as gratification,while 5% will be
set aside to take care of expenses that may arise during the time of
transfer and also telephone bills, while 60% will be for me.and Please you
have been advised to keep this"Top Secret"as we are still in service and
intend to retire from service after we conclude thisdealwith you,
Moreover, I would want you to feed me with the following details:
Your Full name:
Age:
Sex:
Phone Number and Fax if any:
Occupation:
Furthermore, what I require from you is your honest cooperation to enable us
see this transactions through. I guarantee that this will be executed under
legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
Please reply me as soon as possible for us to start this transaction in
earnest.
Yours faithfully,
BARRISTER ALBERT AYODELE
