ATTN:

I crave your indulgence for the unsolicited nature of this letter, but it was borne out of desperation and current development. Please bear with me.I am Barrister Bonny Ufom a solicitor at law. I was the Personal attorney to a national of your country, who used to own an oil servicing company in Nigeria Herein after shall be referred to as my client.On the 21st of November, 2002.my client his wife and their three Children were involved in a car accident along sagama express road. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives.Since then I had made several inquiries through your Embassy to locate any of my clients extended relative but this exercise has proved unsuccessful.

After several unsuccessful attempts, I decide d to trace his relatives through Your Coountry's Chamber of Commerce,to locate any member of his family not much progress was recorded My late client was an influential wealthy businessman, an oil magnet here in Nigeria and he left behind a deposit of $12.5 Million in his domiciliary bank account in HSBC BANK LONDON 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 within 28 working days or forfeit the money to the bank as an abandoned property.

The bankers had planned to invoke the abandoned property decree of 1996 to confiscate the funds after the expiration of the period given to me. Despairing at the point of exhaustiveness, fortunately, I came across your name, to my utmost amazement, I discovered that you bear the same surname with my lat e client and coincidentally, you are nationals of the same country.I am Convinced that you may be linked with my late client or that you might provide clue to my search, I therefore, decided to contact with these facts before me because of the similarities. By virtue of my closeness to the deceased and his immediate family, I am very much aware of my client financial standing and the bank account he operates.

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 so that you can 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 to the Deceased since you are at an advantage, so that the proceeds of this Bank Account valued at US$12.5 Million Dollars can be paid to you.

We shall both share the funds. 55% to me and 45% to you, I shall assemble all the necessary Legal Documents that will b e used to back up our claim.All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us seeing this deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of law.

Please get in touch with me by my e-mail address to enable us discuss further. You may also send your phone number so thaI can call you.

I look forward to your urgent response.
