over the Internet, to locate any member of his family hence I contacted
you. I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money before they
get confiscated or declared unserviceable by Cititrust Bank Limited, bank

now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased
to have the same last name so that the proceeds of this account valued at
US$10.5 Million can be paid to you and then you and I can share the money.

transaction.
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal through.

will protect you from any breach of the law. Please get in touch with me
immediately as I do not have much time in my disposal.
