Since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the
relatives for over 3
years now, I seek your consent to present you as
the
bonafide next of kin to the deceased so that the
proceeds of this account valued at 17.5Million
dollars
will be paid to you and then you and I will
share the
money at the modality of 60% to me as the
originator
of the business and 40% to you as the beneficiary.
It is 100% risk free because i as a barrister by
equity will protect
our interest till the complition of this business.
All i required from you is your hounest coopration
to work according to
my directions and instruction.

not betray my trust on you pls let me know.

this money before this 14 working days issued by
the bank to us to see this transaction through.
