Dear Friend,

I sincerely apologize for intruding into your privacy especially by
contacting you through this means for a business transaction of this
magnitude, but due to its seriousness and urgency it therefore became
necesary for me to seek your assistance.

I am Barr. Michael Azu he personal lawyer to Late Mr. Mark, a foreigner,
who worked with an Oil Servicing Company in the oil rich Niger Delta Area
of Bayelsa State. I am contacting you concerning my late client and an
investment he made. I would respectfully request that you keep the
contents of this mail confidential and respect the integrity of the
information you come by as a result of this mail. I contacted you
independently and no one should be informed of this communication. I would
like to intimate you with certain facts that I believe would be of
interest to you.

This is a genuine transaction and is 100% risk free. All I'm demanding
from you is your honest co-operation to enable us achieve our goal, and
not a perfidious person. On the 6th of May, 2002 it was reported to us
that my Client, his wife and their only daughter were involved in a Local
Plane Crash at Kano State,enroute Abuja (The Capital City) all occupants
in the Plane lost their lives,unfortunately on this same flight were other
dignitaries like the Sports Minister and a host of others

Meanwhile, until his death, my late client had a Fixed Deposit Account of
USD $12.8 Million deposited in a Bank Here (Sterling Banks Plc ) here.
Recently, I received an ultimatum from the Bank asking me to provide my
late client's relative so that the money would be given to them. But
unfortunately it was discovered that my late client did not declare any
identifiable family member in all the official documents he tendered to
the Bank  while opening the account.

Therefore, this development leaves me as the only person with the full
picture of what the prevailing situation is in relation to the deposit my
late client made and who is entitled to be the Bona Fide Beneficiary/Next
of Kin or relative because he died intestate.Therefore, if I fail to
locate any of his relatives or his next of kin (and have this money
transfered to them) the Bank will at the expiration of the 6 weeks
ultimatum given to me confiscate the account.

According to the ultimatum issued to me by the Bank, if I fail to present
to them my late client's relative, with a legitimate statement of claim
for the money before the given time they will confiscate the account and
the money declared 'UNCLAIMED BALANCE'. This will result in the money
being taken over by the Bank. This will not happen if I have my way.

Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives of my late client
all these while, my proposal, therefore, is to present you as the next of
kin/relative of my client due to the fact that you are a foreigner and can
easily pass as a possible relative of my client. I know you will be
wondering how possible this could be but I assure you that this is simple.

I therefore seek your consent to present you as the Next Of Kin to my
client so that the money he deposited with the ( Sterling Banks Plc )
would be paid to you and there after you and I will share the money 40%
for you and I will be taking 60% . I assure you that the deposit would be
released to you within a few days because I have all the relevant
information that would facilitate that will be required on Documentation.

Firstlly, I will like you to provide immediately the following information:

Your full names.
Contact address.
Telephone/Fax Numbers.

With these information I will prepare the necessary documents and
affidavit that will put you in place as the next of kin. After we have
successfully satisfied the requirements of the bank the money totalling
USD $12.8 Million would be paid intoyour account for you to take 40% and I
will be taking 60% . All I require is your honest co-operation to enable
us see this through.

There is no risk at all because everything would be done legally and my
position as a qualified attorney will facilitate everything . Secondly, I
will give you all the necessary documents that would serve as evidence
proving that you are the Next of Kin/ Relative of my late client. These
documents will legally confer on you the status to act as the Beneficiary
of the Estate of my late client.

What I related to you might smack of unethical practice but I want you to
understand that this is a once in life time opportunity capable of turning
around our situation. The truth is that this money would not be taken by
the government but by some greedy Bank Officails and I would not fold my
arms and watch this happen hence my decision to contact you.

If you are interested in doing this transaction with me kindly send your
reply to this email address: (barrmichaelazu@sino.net)

  Thank you as I await your positive response.

  Barr. Michael Azu
