relatives for over 2 years
now, I
seek your consent to present you as the next of kin

this account valued at
$25Million US dollars can be paid to you.

percentages,60% to meand 40% to
you.
I have all necessary legal documents that can be
used to back up any claim
we
may make. All I require is your honest Co-operation,
Confidentiality and
Trust
to enable us see this transaction through.
I guarantee you that this will be executed under a
legitimate arrangement that will protect you from
any breach of the law.
