Subject: Dear Fenton
From:Barrister Bishop Cole Esq.,Legal Practitioner,Solicitor and Advisor. Greetings! I am Barrister Bishop Cole Esq.personal attorney to late Engr.Mark Fenton your deceased relation who use to work as an expertriate contractor with Zenith Oil and Gas Plc here in Nigeria herein after shall be referred to as my client. Late Engr.Mark Fenton and his entire family (wife and two children) were involve in a plane crash on 26 December 2003 unfortunately my client and his entire family lost their lives. Check the websites below for the story of the explosion http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/12/26/benin.crash/ Since then I have made several enquiries to your embassy to locate any of the Fenton family, his extended relatives or anybody that has the same surname,but was unsuccessful. My purpose of contacting you is to assist in receiving the funds left behind by my late client prior to his death before the withholding bank declared it as "Uclaim" where the deceased had an account valued at about USD$12.5M(Twelve Million Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars) with Strategic Finance & Securities Limited. The bank had issued me a notice after series of court injuction restraining the bank from confiscating the funds to provide the next of kin or have the funds confiscated within the next 14 official working days. Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over one year now,I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since you have the same surname so that the proceeds of this account valued at USD$12.5M can be paid to you and then we can both split it on our agreed sharing ratio. I will provide all the necessary official and legal documents that can be used to back up your claim. All I require is your honest co-operation to enable me as the legal attorney to the deceased in seeing that you are paid this funds after which I will join you in your country for the disbursement. I guarantee that this transaction will be executed legitimately within the legal frame of the law to protect you from any legal consequences before and after the transaction is achieved. As soon as I receive your acceptance in principle,I will furnish you with the necessary modalities for commencement of the claim. I anticipate your very quick reply to my private email address:bishopcole1@excite.com Yours Sincerely,Barrister Bishop Cole Esq.
