On the 27th of January 2002,my client,his wife and their Two children were

After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track his last name
over the Internet, to locate any member of his family hence I contacted you.
I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and properties left
behind by my client before they get confiscated or
declared unserviceable by the bank where this huge deposit were lodged.
Particularly, AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK GROUP PLC,where the deceased had a
deposit valued at about
US$15.5 Million has issued me a notice to provide the next-of-kin or have
the account confiscated within the 6 weeks.Since I have been unsuccessful in
locating the relatives for over 2 years now, I seek your consent to present
you as the next of kin of the deceased to have the same last name so that
the proceeds of this account valued at US$15.5 Million can be paid to you
and then you and I can share the money. 60% to me and 40% to you. I have all
necessary legal documents that can be used to backup any claim we may 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 get in touch with me
immediately as I do not have much time in my disposal. contact me with this
alternetive email address:(barrf_eke9@yahoo.com)
Thank you in advance for your anticipated
co-operation.
Best Regards,
Barrister Frank Eke (Esq)
