a car accident along Sagbama Express Road. All occupants of the
vehicle unfortunately lost their lives


Since then I have made several enquiries to your embassy to locate
any of my clients extended relatives this has also proved nsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track his last
name over the Internet, to locate
any member of his familybut to no avail. Hence I decided to contacted
you. I contacted you to assist in claiming this fund
from the finance house where he deposited it before his untimely
death.

The finance company where the deceased had an account valued at about
USD$10.8. million dollars has issued me a notice to provide the next
of kin or have the account confisicated within the next ten official
working days.Since I have been
unsuccesfull in locating the relatives for over 2years 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 USD$10.8. million
dollars can be paid to you as the next of kin.
The money will be shared thus. 40% for you, 50% for me and the
remaining 10% to settle every expences , both local and foreign.


All I need is your full maximum suport and cooperation to enable us
achieve this transaction within 10 working days and I guarantee that
this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect
you from any breach of the law.
