Dear Friend,

Sincehis death, none of his relations or persons have come
forward
to lay claims to his, this funds as next-of-kin, and on my
own i
havemade concerted effort to locate any of his relatives but
all
prove abortive, which makes me to believe that maybe nobody
of his
knows that he was operating this foreign account with an
Insurance
broking firm here in LAGOS-NIGERIA. Based on the ethics and
policies oftheDeposit holding firm, this funds will be
declared
unclaimed fundsandtaken to the treasury of the bank as
capital base
of the bank,because already the account has been tagged
dormant
because it has exceeded the normal functional number of
years.
Inspite of the above please do bear in mind that l have made
several
enquiries with his country's embassies to locate any of my
clients
extended relatives,this has also proved unsuccessful. After
these
several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to contact you with
this
business partnershipproposal. I havecontacted you to assist
in
repatriating a huge amount of money left behind by my client
before
they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the
Finance/Security Company where these huge
deposit was lodged.
The deceased had a deposit valued presently at $30.5million
(Thirty
Million, Five Hundred Thousand United State Dolars) and the
Company
has issued me a notice to provide hisnext ofkin or

sixty
official working days.
Since Ihave been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for
over
3 years now, Iseek your consent to present you as the next
of kin /
Will Beneficiary to the deceased so that the proceeds of
this
account valued at $30.5Million US dollars can be paid to
you. This
will be disbursedor shared in these percentages, 60% to me
and 40%
to you.
