This has proved unsuccessful. I came to know about you through an enquiry I
was making in the internet and from all indications I could ascertain that
you might be interested in assisting me to stand in as the next of kin for

behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by
the bank. Particularly, the bank where the deceased had an account valued at

kin or have the account confisticated within the next 21 official working
days if not claimed.

now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased so
that the proceeds of this account valued at US$33.7 Million Dollars can be
paid to you and then you and I 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. Please, 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.
