client, his wife and their three children were involved in a car accident
along Lagos - Ibadan express road. All occupants of the vehicle
unfortunately lost there lives. Since then I have made several enquiries to
your embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives. This has proved
unsuccessful. I came to know about you through an enquiry I was making in
the internet, and i found out that you have the same second name with my
client, which is why I have decided to contact you, in order to assist in
repatriating the money and property left behind by my client before they get
confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank.Particularly, the Nortech
Finance Company where the deceased had an account valued at about US$ 19.5
Million Dollars, has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have
the account confisticated within the next 21 official working days.
Since i have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 2 years
now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased
since you have the same last name so that the proceeds of this account
valued at US$19.5 Million Dollars can be paid to you and then you and me can
share the money, on the ratio of 70% for me, and 30% for 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 co-operation to enable us see this
business through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.Please get in
touch with me by email and send to me your telephone and fax numbers to
