Greetings!
I am Barrister Ken Bobby Esq.personal attorney to late Engr.Alex [SMITH]
your deceased relation who use to work as an expertriate contractor with
Zenon Oil and Gas Plc here in Nigeria herein after shall be referred to as
my client.
Late Engr.Alex [SMITH] and his entire family (wife and two children)were
involve in a local plane crash at Kano en route Abuja (capital city)in
Nigeria on the 4th of may 2002 which claimed all passenger aboard the
airline, unfortunately my client and his entire family lost their lives.
Check the websites below for the story of the plane crash,

Since then I have made several enquiries to your embassy to locate any of
the [SMITH] 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$35Million(Thirty five Million 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$35M 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.
Yours Sincerely,
Barrister Ken Bobby Esq.
