April 1999, my client was involved in a car accident.Unfortunately he lost
his life.I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money left
behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by
the Bank where this huge deposit was lodged.
The bank where the deceased had an account valued at about 10.3 million
dollars Has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the
account Confiscated within the next twenty official working days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives, I now seek your
consent to present you as the next of kin Of the deceased since you are a
foreigner so that the Proceeds of this account valued at 10.3 million
dollars can be paid to you,subsequently to be shared among us If you
agree,we can discuss your percentage.

we may make.All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us seeing
this deal Through.
