notice; I had to use the E-mail because it is an easier and more
confidential way of making contact with people around the world.My name is
Mr SUNNY MIKE, a banker with Intercontinental bank plc. I happen to be the
chief account officer to Late Eng.William , a national of your country, who
used to work with Chevron- Development Company in Nigeria. Here in after
shall be referred to as my client. On the 27th of January 2002, my client,
his wife and their three children were involved in ikeja bombblast. Which
All occupants unfortunately lost their lives?

Since then I have made several enquiries to your embassy to locate any
of my clients extended relatives. After these several unsuccessful attempts,
I decided to track his last name over the Internet, 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 where these huge deposits
were lodged.Particularly, the finance company where the deceased had an
account valued at about USD$20.5 million dollars has issued me a notice to
provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated within the next
Thirty (30)Working official working days.Since I have been unsuccessful in
locating the relatives for over 4years 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
account valued at USD20.5 million dollars can be paid to you and then
you and me can share the money.60% to me and 35% to you and 5% will be used
for any expenses.I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to
back up anyclaim we may make. All I require is your honest cooperation to
enable us seeing 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 private email
