Subject: I NEED YOUR ATTENTION ON THIS
From: Barrister Gius Emeka Egobia (Esq).

Lagos - Nigeria.
Dear Friend,
I hope this meets you in good health. My name is Barr Gius Emeka
Egobia (Esq). a Legal Practitioner and Attorney to late Mr. Ziya
Bazhayev,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 my
client lost his life:

My late client was an influential Wealthy Businessman,a Russian
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 Fifteen Million, Five HundredThousand United
StatesDollar(US$15,500,000.00USD) in his Domiciliary Bank Account in a
commercial bank here in Country. I have employed every method to
locate any of my clients extended relatives but this exercise has
proved unsuccessful, due to my inability to locate any of his
relative, I now have a view of investing this fund with you, which is
my main reason of contacting you.
After the death of my client his Banker 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 the bank as an abandoned Estate. The bank had planned to
invoke a clause in the property Act, to confiscate the funds after the
expiration of a period given to me.
In spite of this and at the point of desperation, I came across your
contact, while trying to locate documentation's regarding possible
relatives ofmy client in his Country ofOrigin. I am believed to be
convinced 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 the deceased, I am very much aware of my client's
financial standing and the bank account he operated 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
in his bank account, hence I contacted you by seeking your consent to
present you as the Next of Kin. The bank needs only the facts as to be
presented legally. The rest is between you and I and with my
guidiance, 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% would be for all Expenses andTaxes, as the Law and Government
mayrequire, I shall assemble all the necessary Legal Documents that
will be used to back up your claim.
All I require is your honesty and co-operation to enable us succeed in
this deal, I guarantee that this deal will be executed under a
legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any Breach of law.
Please get in touch with me upon the receipt of this proposal.
Best Regards,
Barr Gius Emeka Egobia (Esq)
