crash, all occupants of the vehicle unfortunately

enquiries with his country embassies to locate any

unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, i decided
to contact you with this business partnership

relatives for over 2 years now, i seek your consent
to present you as the next of Kin / Will Beneficiary

valued at $28 Million US dollars can be paid to you.
This will be disbursed or shared in these
percentages, 60% to me and 40% to you.
I have all necessary legal documents that can be
used to back up any claim that we are going to make.
All i require is your honest Co-operation,
Confidentiality and Trust to enable us see this
transaction through.
I guarantee you that this will be executed under a
legitimate arrangement that will protect from any
breach of the law. I apologized using this medium to
reach you for a transaction/business of this
magnitude, but this is due to the confidentiality
and prompt access reposed on this medium and please
do keep this proposal to yourself.
Once again remember that time is of great essence in
this transaction. Positive response should be
accompanied with the followings;
1. Your full names,
2. Your telephone and fax numbers,
3. Your contact address.
With the above details, i should be able to reach
you immediately with more information on how to
proceed with this transaction, i wait in
anticipation of your fullest co-operation.
