have made several enquiries about my clients extended
relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful.

to check over the internet on any member of his family

unserviceable by the security company where these
Money is Deposited.

relatives for over 3 years now I seek your consent to
present you as the next of kin of the deceased so
that the Money valued at $20.5 Million dollars can be
claimed by you and then you and I can share the money.
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. All I require is your honest cooperation to
enable us see this deal through. I guarantee that this
