Since then I have been managing his properties here in the U.K. and some of
his properties, which he put out for sale. Which I monitored the payment as

into his Local account here. 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 his bank.
Particularly, the bank has issued me a notice to provide any of his next of
kin or have the account confiscated within a short time. My late client has
an account valued at 15.5 million
dollars. Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for some
time now, and with the bank giving me deadline, I now seek your consent to
present you as the next of kin of the
deceased, so that the proceeds of this account valued at 15.5million dollars
can be paid to you and then you, and I can share the money. 50% to me and
40% for you and 10% for miscellaneous expenses that might arise. I have all
necessary information that can be used to back up any Claim we may make.
All I require is your honest co-operation 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. Trust me, as his attorney, this is a risk-free relationship.
