Since then I have made several enquiries to your embassy to locate any of my
clients extended relatives this has also proved unsuccessful. After these
several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to presenting somebody who is not

and property left behind by my client prior to his death before they get
confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Bank, why we have contacted you
to present you as his next of kin, so that the $15,000.000.00 will be paid
to you and we can both disburse the fund according to the percentage we will
agree on. In view of this, I am seeking for your co-operation and
understanding to stand as the next of kin to our deceased client, to enable
us claim the fund from my bank. Hence, if this proposal is OK by you and you
do not wish to take undue advantage of my trust, then I hope to bestow on
you.
Please kindly get back to me immediately, to enable me enlighten you on how
we are to proceed. On getting your response, we shall agree on the
percentage of disbursing the $15,000,000.00 between us, as we intend to
invest part of our own share in real estate business in your country, and
we would appreciate if you can put us in the right part investing in your
country. I will not contact any person or company until I hear from you, so
as to enable me decide on what to do next. be rest assured that this
business is 100% risk free.
I have all the necessary official and legal documents that can be used to
back up your claim. All I require is your honest co-operation to enable me
as the legal attorney to the deceased in seeing that you receive your
inheritance fund. I guarantee that this will be executed legitimately to
protect you from any breach of the law.
