Balogun Lagos Nigeria.
Dear Sir,
I am Barr. Albert Ayodele (Esq) personal attorney to Engr. Mark Creek, a
national of your country, who worked with Zenon Oil Company here in Nigeria
herein after, shall be referred to as my client.My client with his entire
family (The wife and Children) were among the victims of an explosion in
Lagos, Nigeria, that happened on January 27,2002 which, claimed many lives
and property.
See the 2 website of the bomb explosion below: -

I have made several inquiries to your embassy after his internment to locate
any of his extended relatives, but all this has proved unsuccessful.
Consequently, I decided to track his last name over the Internet, to locate
any member of his family which resulted in my contact with you.
My purpose of contacting you is to assist in repatriating the deposited fund
of US$13Million USD that was lodged in by my late client in a Finance
Company when he was alive.
The repatriation is as a result of a fourteen days notice (ultimatum) that
has been issued to me by the Finance company requesting me to present to
them a next of kin to my late client so that the fund would be repatriated
to him/her.
Failure to do that after the expiration of the ultimatum will result in the
confiscation and freezing of the account by the finance company.
For the fact that I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for
over 2 years plus now, I now seek your consent to present you as the next
kin to the deceased since you have the same last name with my client, so
that the fund would be transferred to you.
Therefore, on receipt of your positive response, I shall officially present
you to the finance company as the next of kin to the inheritance so that
they will commence the processing
of your fund transfer.
Moreover, I would want you to feed me with the following details:
Your Full name:
Age:
Sex:
Phone Number and Fax if any:
Occupation:
Furthermore, what I require from you is your honest cooperation to enable us
see this transactions through. I guarantee that this will be executed under
legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
Please reply me as soon as possible for us to start this transaction in
earnest.
Yours faithfully,
BARRISTER ALBERT AYODELE
