the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives.
Since then I have made several enquiries to your embassy to locate any of
my clients extended family memebers or a relative,which was without successful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his relatives
over the Internet in order to locate any member of his family or relation
which also proved abortive, hence my contact to you I contact you to seek
your assistance in repartrating themoney that belong to my client which
he had in his bank account with UNIVERSAL TRUST BANK {UTB}A commercial bank
here before his death.This was informed with a long search for his relative
which as i said proved abortive.
Therefore an urgent step has to be taken before the account get confisicated
or declared unserviceable by this bank where a huge deposit were made to
the tune of TEN MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLAR {USD10M} by the deceased .In
interim the bank has sort to know the next of kin of the deceased for onward
claim of this fund or the family will risk having the account confisicated
within a couple of days. since i have been unsuccesfull in locating the
relatives of my clients for over 3 years now I seek your consent to present
you as the next of kin of the deceased since you are from the same country
and bear the same last name so that the proceeds of this account valued
at $10 million dollars can be paid to you and then you and i can share the
money.75% to me and 25% to you,while 5% should be for expenses incurred
by both during the period of this transaction or tax as your government
may require, I have all necessary documents relevant in this transaction

not entertain any fear to the effect.
