Since then I have made several enquiries to your embassy to locate any of my
clients extended
relatives,this has also proved unsuccessful. After these several
unsuccessful attempts, I decided and do some research in the internet, to
locate any member of his family. That is why I contacted you,and the reason
why i contacted you is to assist me in repatriating the money and property
left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared
unserviceable by the bank where these huge deposits were lodged where my
client deposited US$17.5million dollars.
The Bank has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the
Account confiscated within the next ten official working days. 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, so that the proceeds of this account valued at US$17.5million
dollars can be transferred to your account there in your country, then you
and me can share the money. I have all necessary legal documents that back
up the claim we may make. All I require is your honest co-operation to
enable us see this deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed
under legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the
law.
Please indicate your readiness to assist me,so that all the informations
about this funds will be passed
to you immediately.You should send to me your full names, your private
telephone numbers,fax number date of birth emlpoyment status, for easy
communications.And also assure me of your trust
and remember that the trust in business is confidentiality.So let it be only
between me and
you.If you give me your full coperation and this transaction is properly
executed,I am prepared to give you 40% of the total sum for your kind
assistance.50% will be for me and 10% percent will be for any expences we
may incure along in this transaction.Please get in touch with me by my
