Since i have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 3 years now i seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since you are from the same country, so that the proceeds of this account valued at US$25.3 million dollars can be paid to you and then you and me can share the money. 50% to me and 40% to you, while 10% should be for expenses or tax as your government may require.
