I have contacted you to assist in returning the fund valued at $19,800,000.00 UNITED STATES DOLLARS left behind by my client in trunk boxes with the Private Security Company in Europe, for security reasons, we have concealed the original content of the trunks to the Security Company before it raises eyebrows which was the reason why it was registered as family valuables. The said Security Company has issued me a notice to provide the relatives or families of the deceased to come in person for identification and clearance or they should not be held responsible if any loss or misplacement. For the fact that I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for years, I seek the consent to present you as the family member to the deceased, since you have the same last name with my client, so that necessary travelling arrangments can be made by you for claims while i will provide you with the vital documents which will enhance release to your order.
Therefore, if you are related to this family in question or they are in your family tree or genealogy, please endeavor to reach me immediately to enable me inform you the modalities on how to carry out this project.
I have all necessary information and legal documents needed to back you up for claim. All I require from you is your honest cooperation to enable us see this transaction through. I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
Please get back to me as soon as possible via email, and don't forget to send your direct telephone number to enable me provide you with the officials direct contact so that you can notify him your arrangements to fly into the country for identification and clearance.
