On the 4th of March 2002, my client were involved in a plane crash
accident along Airport Express Road that claims the lives of all, This was
sad
news to the hearing of any human being and Since then I have made several
enquiries to embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives this has
proved unsuccessfull . After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided
to trace his relatives over the
Internet, to locate any member of his family but of no avail, hence I
contacted
you.
I have contacted you on trust to assist me in receiving the money left
behind by my client before the bank he has an account with gets the
money confisicated or decleared his money as unclaim fund following the the
bank's policy. Particularly, the Bank where the deceased had
an account valued at about $25.5 million dollars has issued me a notice
to provide the next of kin of my client or have the account confisicated
the next ten working days.Since I have been unable to locate the relatives
for precisely three years now I seek your consent to present you as the
next of kin of the deceased since you are bearing the same surname with my
late
client so that the proceedings of the transfer of the money valued at
$14.5m can be remitted to you as the next of kin for our mutual benefit The
sharing .percentage is as follow if only you will be faithfull and honest to
assist me, 35% for your assistance as next of kin 60% for me and the
remaining
5% shall be for expences or! taxes as your government may require.All
necessary legal document that will back up your claim of this money will be
secured by an attorney on your behalf All I require is your honest
co-operation to
enable us see that this deal comes through. I guarantee you t hat this
business 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
