the Next of Kin or have the account confiscated. Since I have been
unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 1 ( One) year now, I seek
your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased, so
that the proceeds of this account valued at US$7,000,000.00 can be paid
to you and them you and I can share the money 40% & 60% respectively.
I will procure 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 will be executed under a
legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the
law.

up and for successful claim of this fund in your favour, you are
requested to forward the following information to my confidential

within the next 10 working days.
