company in Nigeria Herein after shall be referred to as my client. On the
21st of November, 2002.My client his wife and their three Children were
involved in a car accident along sagbama express road. All occupants of
the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives. I know that my client had no
living kin but i went ahead and made several inquiries to your embassy to
locate any of my clients extended relatives but this has proved unsuccessful.
I only did so to be double sure of this fact.

years if not claimed and We have just about two month.

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 $6.5 million dollars can be paid to you and then .you and i can share
the money. 60% shall be for you because you are the beneficary of my late
client and 30% for me while 10% is marked for expenses that will be incurred
during the process of Transfer of the fund. I have all necessary legal documents
that can! be used to back up any claim we may make. All I require is your
honest co-operation to enable us see this deal through. I guarantee that
