foreigner who used to work with Mekon Associates company in Nigeria, On the
2nd of March 2000, my
client, his wife And their three children were involved in a car accident
along Port Harcourt 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 trace his relativesover the Internet,to locate any
member of his family but of no avail,hence I contacted you.
I have contacted you to assist me in repartrating the money left behind by
my client before they get confisicated or declared unserviceable by the
finance house where this huge
deposits were lodged. Particularly, the finance house where the deceased had
an account valuedat about 20 million dollars has issued me a notice to
provide the next of kin
or have the account confisicated within the next ten official working days.
since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives for over 3years now
I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased so
that the proceeds of
this account valued at $20 million dollars can be paid to you and then you
and i 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 transaction 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
