Dear Filipp


I am Barrister Usman Farouk,a solicitor at law. I am the personal attorney
to Mr.Frank Filipp,a national of your country, who worked with PETRO BONDS
Limited in Bonny Island, River State as an Engineer and a Consultant in
deep Sea Oil Exploration. On the 4th of May 2002, my client was involved
in a plan crash with Executive Airline Services (EAS) Air Line Boeing 727
from Jos to Kano State along side his entire family in which all the occupants
died as a result of burnt sustained.

Based on the letter I recieved from the SECURITY & FINANCE COMPANY mandating
me to present with immediate effect any of his relation who will stand as
the Next of Kin to my late client. Since then I have made several enquiries
to your embassy here to locate any of my clients extended relatives, this
has also proved unsuccessful, after several attempts. I decided to track
his last name over the Internet, to locate any member of his family hence
I contacted you. I have contacted you to assist in recovering the fund valued
at US$12.5
Million left behind by my client before it gets confisicated or declared
unserviceable by the Security & Finance Firm where this huge amount were
deposited. The said Finance Company has issued me a notice to provide the
next of kin or have the account confisicated within the next twenty one
working days.

Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 2 years
now. I seek the consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased
since you have the same last names, so that the proceeds of his account
will be paid to you as the bonafide Next of Kin.Therefore, on receipt of
your positive
response, we shall then discuss the sharing ratio and modalities.

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 get in touch with me through my email
address:faroukchambersng@hotmail.com


Best regards,

Barrister Usman Farouk
