ATTENTION

receive also, of not having the pleasure of knowing your mindset before
sending you this letter, i am Barrister Ajua Bunker the personal attorney to
late Engr. Steve Roxanne a national of Isle of Man in UK, who used to work
with Shell Petroleum Development Company(SPDC) here in Accra, on the
Thursday, 25 December, 2003, 22:53 GMT. my client, his wife and their three
children were involved in a Benin air crash accident The chartered plane,
Boeing 727, crashed on take-off at Benin's Cotonou airport and fell into the
Gulf of Guinea. You can viste this wbesit and viw the accident:

Unfortunately they all lost their lives in the event of the accident, since
then i have made several enquiries to Embassies to locate any of my clients
extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful, after these several
unsuccessful attempts. i decided to trace his relatives over the internet to
locate any member of his family but of no avail.
I contacted you to assist in repartracting the money and property left
behind by my client, i can easily convince the bank with my legal practice
that you are the only surviving relation of my client, otherwise the Estate
he left behind will be confiscated or declared unservice able by the bank
where this huge deposits were lodged, particularly the bank where the
deceased had account valued at $10.5 million U.S dollars conseqently, the
bank issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account
confiscated within the next twenty offical working days.
Since i have been unsuccessfull in locating the relatives for over several
years now, i seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the
deceased so that the proceeds of this account valued at $10.5 million U.S
dollars can be paid to your account and then you and me can share the money.
55% to me and 40% to you, while 5% should be for expenses or tax as your
government may require.
I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any claim
we may make, all i require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this
deal though.the information i require from you is this;
(1) your full name
(2)address
(3)telephone/ fax number.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that
will protect you from any breach of the law,
Yours Faithfully,
Barrister Ajua Bunker. (esq)
