BARRISTER ADEOLA AGBAJE (SAN),
ATTORNEY AT LAW, SOLICITOR & ADVOCATE
LAGOS-NIGERIA.

Dear Sir/Ma,
I am BARRISTER ADEOLA AGBAJE (SAN), personal attorney and also a close
confidant to a national of your country, who also shares the same
Surname/Last Name with you. He used to work with one of the major oil
companies in this country, OANDO PLC.
On the 6th of May, 2002 it was reported to me that my client, his wife and
their children were involved in a Local Plane Crash at Kano State, en-route
Abuja (The Capital City) all occupants in the Plane lost their lives,
unfortunately on this same flight were other dignitaries like the Nigerian
Sports Minister and a host of others.

Since then I have made several enquiries to your embassy to locate any of
his extended relatives and this has also proved unsuccessful. After these
several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to contact you. I have contacted
you to assist in repatriating the money and property left behind by my
client before they get confiscated or auctioned by the Finance Company where
he deposited the sum of US$11.2 million dollars.
The guidelines of this Finance Company stipulates that if such deposit
remained unclaimed for over a period of time 3 years, without the fund
lawfully claimed the said deposit will be confiscated and this will happen
after the next fourteen official working days if nobody comes for the money.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over one year
for the deposit and his property, and the company has been notifying the
rotary club regarding this, now I seek your consent to present you as the
next of kin of the deceased so that the proceeds of this deposit valued at
US$11.2 million dollars can be paid to you here or in any of the company's
affiliate office overseas. I have all necessary information and legal
documents needed to back you up for the claim.
All I require from you is your honest cooperation to enable us see this
transaction through. I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
Please contact me on the above phone number or email
adeolachambers@btinternet.com sending the following details to me for easy
contact
1,Your Private Telephone and fax numbers
2,Age and Sex
3,Marital Status
4,Occupation
Best regards,
BARRISTER ADEOLA AGBAJE (SAN),
ADEOLA CHAMBERS
