Dear Norbert  ,I am Bennard Egoabia Ekpontu, a solicitor at law. I am the perso
nal attorney to Mr. Mark Norbert  a national of your country, who used to work 
with Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC) in Nigeria. Here in after shall
 be referred to as my client.  On the 21st of April 1999, my client, his wife a
nd their three children were involved in a car accident along Sagbama express r
oad. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives. Since then I 
have made several enquiries to your embassy to locate any of my client’s extend
ed relatives.  After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track hi
s last name over the Internet, to locate any member of his family hence I conta
cted you.  I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and propert
y left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceabl
e by the bank where this huge deposits were lodged. Particularly, the finance c
ompany whe

re the deceased had an account valued at about USD$7.95 million dollars has iss
ued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated with
in the next few weeks.  Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relative
s for over 2 years now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of
 the deceased since you have the same last name so that the proceeds of this ac
count valued at USD7.95 million dollars can be paid to you and then you and me 
can share the money in the following ration: 60% to me and 40% to you. I have a
ll 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 through.  
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will
 protect you from any breach of the law. Please get in touch with me by my emai
l and send to me your telephone and fax numbers to enable us discuss further on
 this transaction.  Best regards

, Barrister Bennard Egoabia	Ekpontu
