ATTENTION:
I hope this meets you in good health. My name is Barrister Graham
Ezego.legal practitioner and Attorney to late Mr.Steve moore.
who died in the plane crash of Yak-40 jetliner on March 9, 2000.
You may follow the link below to read about the plane crash where my
client lost his life:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/world/europe/672849.stm
My late client was an influential wealthy businessman, an Engineer
Contractor in my Country and a Russian Oil dealer and the Principal
ownerof Oil Alliance Company. He left behind a deposit of Twenty Seven
Million,United States Dollars($27,000,000.USD) in his domiciliary bank
accountin a commercial bank here in Nigeria Which is one of the main
reasons 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 toprovide
his next of kin for the payment of this money or forfeit the money to the
bank as an unclaimed fund.
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.
I came across your name, while trying to locatedocumentation'sregarding
possible relatives of my client in his country of origin and convienced
that 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 deasedthe,
iam very much aware of my client's financial standing and the bank
account 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 can be paid the funds left
in his bank account. I seek your consent to present you as 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 may require, 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 istransaction
through,I assure you that this transaction will be executed under a
legitimate arrangement that will protect us from any breach of law.
Please get in touch with me through my private email

Best Regards,
Barrister. Graham Ezego(Esq).
