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 Finance Company here. These huge deposits were lodged particularly, with
the "ACC TRUST & FINANCE"where the Deceased had an account valued at about
$11million dollars. The Finance Company has issued me a notice to provide
the next of kin or have the account confiscated.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 3 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 account
valued at $11million dollars can be paid to you and then you and i
can share the money,50% to me and 50% to you.I will procure 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 deal through. I
guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.

information from you:
Your Full Name and Address,
