the money paid was deposited into his Local account here. 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 his bank.
Particularly, the bank has issued me a notice to provide any of his next of
kin or have the account confiscated within a short time. My late client has
an account valued at 15.5 million dollars. Since I have been unsuccessful in
locating the relatives for some time now, and with the bank giving me
deadline, I now seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the
deceased, so that the proceeds of this account valued at 35,000,000 million
dollars can be paid to you and then you, and I can share the money. 50% to
me and 40% for you and 10% for miscellaneous expenses that might arise. I
have all necessary information that can be used to back up any 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 a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. Trust me, as
his attorney, this is a risk-free relationship. Please reach me on my
