On the 27th of January 2002, my client, his wife and their three children
were involved in Ikeja
bomb blast here in my country. My client and his family unfortunately lost
their lives. Since
then I have made several enquiries to your embassy to locate any of my clients
extended relatives
but all to no avail. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided

fund.You can contact the bank from there while I will be here to act on
your behalf as your
lawyer.However,I would appreciate if you can come over.

I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and property left
behind by my client
before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where
this huge deposits were
lodged. Particularly, the the bank where the deceased had an account valued
at about
USD$20.95O,000, Twenty million nine hundred and fifty thousand dollars has
issued me a notice to

few weeks.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over three
years now. I seek your
consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since you are
from his country.I will
make the bank believe that you are the real next of kin.I will get all the
needed papers here; so
that the proceeds of this account valued at USD20.950,000 can be shared
in the following ration:
60% to me and 40% to you. I have all necessary legal documents that can
be used to
back up any claim we may make.

executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach
