locate any of his entended relation,I decided to contact you for this fine
venture so that we can pull it together,this is without any risk at all
I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and property left
behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by
the bank where this huge deposits totalling USD$5.6Million,according to
banks and other financial Institutions{BOFI}rules and regulations guiding
deposit such as this.
It is very necessary we get this concluded because the bank,The bank of
North Nigeria Plc, has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have
the account confiscated after four years if not claimed and we have just two
months left.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 USD$5.6Million
dollars can be paid to you and then you and me can share the money thus:
65% shall be for me while 30% goes to you.5% will be earmarked for expenses
that will be incurred during the process of transfer of the fund.
Be informed that all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up
this claim will be made available.All I require is your honest co-operation
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 by my e-mail.You can also include your
telephone number in your response to enable us discuss further.
I am confident we will work together.Thanking you in anticipation for your
