On the 21st of April 1999,My client Mr. Mark Sanchez, and his family was involved in a fatal auto crash in Lagos in which people were burnt to death unfortunately my client Mr. Mark Sanchez, and his family lost their lives. 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, to locate any member of his family hence I contacted you. I am contacting you to assist in repatriating the money and property left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable to the
bank where this huge deposit were lodged.Particularly, the finance company where the deceased had an account valued at about USD14.7 million dollars has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated within the next fifteen official working days. Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 3years now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since you have the same national identity, so that the proceeds of this account valued at USD14.7 million dollars can be paid to you and then you and me 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 co-operation to enable us seeing this deal 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 my email or preferably through my alternative
email:barrsameze@yahoo.ca for better confidentiality and
