were involved in a car accident along Kano - Sokoto express Road while
arriving from Easter Holiday to Warri Delta State. All occupant of the
vehicle unfortunately lost their lives, since then I have made several
enquiries to your Embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives

across your name and contact, while I was searching for Edward's relations,
but my search was unsuccessful, so I contacted you for this project. I am
contacting you to assist in repatriating the money and properties left

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 proceed of this deposit valued
at $USD20 Million Dollars can be released to you and then you and I can
share the money, 50% for me 45% for you, and the remaining 5% will be for
expenses and tax.He made the money in one of the Oil deals he had with our

back up any claim we may make. All I require is your honest co-operation to
enable us see this business through. I guarantee that this will be executed
under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the
