and his wife there. Mr. Chapman Hailed from United States Of America.
Since the death of Chapman, I as his personal attorney, have made
several enquiries to locate his only surviving relation, without any
success. Icame across your name and contact on the course of my
personal searching for Chapman's relations, so I decided to contact
you for this project to know if you are the Next Of Kin to Late
Chapman and his family.
I am contacting you to assist in repatriating and securing the wealth
left behind in a fixed deposit account by Chapman, before they get
confiscated or declared unserviceable by Union Bank Plc where my client

Plc has issued me a notice that after 2 months from now and no

will be confiscated and declared unserviceable.

relatives for sometime now,it on this note that I seek your consent
to present you as the Next of Kin of the deceased since you are a
foreigner,and have thesame last name,sothat the proceed of this

the Central Computing Unit of the Bank as the Next Of Kin to my late
client:

business successful. I guarantee that this will be executed under a

his hard earned wealth to be stolen by the greedy directors of Union Bank
Plc.Further details awaits your response by email. PLEASE, TREAT
