On the 21st of April 2002, my client, his wife and their three children were

behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by

Eco Bank Nigeria Plc where the deceased had an account valued at about USD
$10.3 Million (Ten Million and Three Hundred Thousand United States
Dollars) has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the
account confiscated within the next thirty 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
since you have the same last name so that the proceeds of this account
valued at USD $10.3Million dollars will be paid to you and then you will pay
me for consultancy.
I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up our claim.
All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us to see this
transaction through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a
legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
