This came today:


Dear Summers,

Before I start, I must first apologize for this unsolicited mail to you.I am
aware that this is certainly an unconventional approach to establishing a
relationship, but you will realize the reason for my action after going
through this email.

I am barrister Mr. Johnson Akubeke, a solicitor at law.I am the personal
attorney to Mr. Mark Summers, a national of your country, who until his
death was an employee with Chevron Oil Exploration Company in Nigeria.
Here in after shall be referred to as my client.

On the 21st of April 1999, my client, his wife and their three Children were
involved in a car accident along Sagbama express-road. All occupants of
the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives. Since then I have made several
enquiries to your embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives,
this has also proved unsuccessful.

After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track his last name
so as to locate any nearest relative or to locate any member of his family
hence I contacted you. I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the
money and property left behind by my client before they get confiscated or
declared unserviceable by the bank here where the huge deposits were
lodged. The Constitutional provision of the Federal Republic of Nigeria
further mandates the deceased attorney to repatriate the fund if original
country of deceased is extablished.

Particularly, Continental Trust Bank PLC where the deceased had an
account valued at over $7,000,000.00 (Seven million US dollars) has
issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account
confiscated within the next 21 official working days.

Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 4 years
now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased
since you have the same last name and from the native country of the
deceased, so that the proceeds of this account valued at over $7million
dollars can be paid to you and then you can disburse as follows:

1) 40% to you.
2) 30% to Me
3) 30% to your choice of Charity and humanitarian organizations in your
country.

I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any
claim we may to stand make.

All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us seeing this project
through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.

Best regards,

Mr. Johnson Akubeke Esq.
