Cras,a foreigner, who use to work with Jangle Cement Company here in
Nigeria, on the 2nd of Dec. 2002, my client and his wife ,got involved in a
car accident, all occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost there lives.
Since then I have made several enquiries to locate any of my clients
extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful. After these several
unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his relatives over the Internet,
to locate any member of his family but of no avail, hence I contacted you. I
have contacted you to assist in repatriating the fund left behind by my late
client because the bank have asked me as his lawyer to produce his next of
kin.

claim the contract valued at about US$11 Million Dollars or have the amount
confiscates, since I have been unsuccessfully in locating the relatives for
over years, now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the
deceased since your a foreigner and have the same surname so that the
proceeds of this account valued at US$11 Million can be paid to you.

.I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that
will protect you from any breach of the law of your country and my country

the field.

transaction.
Note: Some of the lawyers in my office have been planning to divert this
particular amount of money US$11M but they failed because I never authorized
anybody to do that, as the principal attorney of this estate I hereby urge
your assistance to get this fund transfer into your account legitimately
which I am assuring you. Some lawyers may contact you in different ways
concerning this claim, don’t respond to them, forwarding me the message they
send to you so that I can get them sacked and arrested.
