Subject: Hello
Dear Friend,
I hope this meets you in good health. My name is Barrister Mack Phillips legal practitioner and
Attorney to late Mr. Seiyo Bazhayev - a Chechen -
who died in the plane crash of Yak-40 jetliner on March 9th, 2000. You may follow the Link below to
read about the Plane Crash my client lost his life.
http://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
$16.5m )Sixteen Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars only. in his domiciliary bank account in a
commercial bank here in london 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 theproperty 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 genealogysite 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 came across 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 m 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 you 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 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,
BARR. MACK PHILLIPS.
