I am Isa Ibrahim,personal attorney to Mr.Seaman Khun,a national of your
country, who used to work with Shell development Company here in Nigeria

On the 21st of April 2002, my client, his wife and their three children were
involved in a ghastly motor accident.
Unfortunately, all occupants of the vehicle lost their lives as the vehicle
caught fire after the crash.Since then I have made several enquiries to your
embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives this has also proved
unsuccessful After these several unsuccessful attempts,
I decided to track his last name over the Internet, to locate any member of
his family hence I contacted you.
My purpose of contacting you is to assist in repatriating the money and
property left behind by my client prior to hi! s death before they get
confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where this huge deposits
were lodged particularly, in a Bank(First National Bank) where the deceased
had an account valued at about US$20.5 Million dollars.
The bank had issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the
account confiscated within the next forteen official working days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 2years now
I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since
you have the same last name that the proceeds of this account valued at
US$20.5million dollars can be paid to you and then we can share
the money afterwards.
All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us in seeing this deal
through. I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement
that will protect you from any breach of the law.Please get in touch with me
by my email address above or attorneychambers@katamail.com to
