Subject: PLEASE ASSIST ME AS NEXT OF KIN
Dear Friend,
I hope this meets you in good health.
My name is Barrister Jones Obi.legal practitioner and Attorney to late
Mr

<" target=_blankhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/world/europe/672849.stm>
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, Two Hundred
Thousand United States Dollar ($12,200,000.00USD) in his domiciliary bank
account in 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 to
provide his next of kin for the payment of this money or forfeit the money
to the
bank 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 possible places 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. 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 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 in
his
bank account, hence I contacted you. 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.
Please if you are fully interested to assist me achieve this goal
and have your 40% share,
kindly include in your reply to this proposal letter,
(1) your full name,country/ mailing address.
(2) your contact phone number for I will call you
for a dialogue for more details of this transaction.
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal
through
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement
that
will protect you from any Breach of law.
Best regards,
Barrister Jones Obi
