2years now I seek your consent to present you as the Next! Of Kin of the
deceased to since you the same last name so that the proceeds of this
account valued at 12.5Million dollars can be paid to you and then you and I
can share the money 50% to I and 50% to you. I have all necessary
legaldocuments that can be used to backup any claim we may make.
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal through.
