this huge deposits were lodged.Particularly, the Bank where the deceased had

seven official working days.
Since i have been unsuccesfull 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 are from the same country so that the proceeds of this account
valued at $8.6 million dollars can be paid to you as his next of kin and
then you and me can share the money. 50% to me and 40% to you,while 10%
should be for expenses or tax as your government may require.

make. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see 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 if you

client's unclaimed fund will be paid to you as the family of my late client
