Dear Sir,

My client planed to establish an investment in your country before his death occurred and he deposited diamond funds worth of us$60.5 million dollars with two different banks out side my country for investment project in your country. The banks has issued me a notice to provide his next of kin to assist in repatriating the money he left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the finance house where this hug amount is lodged.
Since i have been unsuccessful in locating the relations for over 5 month now i am seeking your consent to present you as the business partner to the deceased client to enable us take over the proceeds of this deposit amount to be paid into your nominated bank account of your choice. You and I will share the money.
If your interested in this proposal I will like us to have a meeting to enable us agree on the modalities to do the business and the sharing ratio and the method to carry out the operation. Also the meeting will give us the opportunity to know our selves and to know the roles to be played by any us. All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us seeing this deal through I guarantee you that this will be execute under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of law.
You have to assure me for your honesty and sincerely that you will not sit on this money when it is finally transferred into your nominated bank account this will enable us forge ahead immediately.
