Dear Sir / Madam ,

late client who was a national of your country, who used to work with Texaco
development Company in Nigeria. On the 21st of April 1999 , his wife and
their three children were involved in a car accident along Lagos/Shagamu
Express Road. Unfortunately they all lost their lives in the event of the
accident, since then i have made several enquiries to your embassy to locate
any of his extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful.
After these several Unsuccessful attempts, i decided to trace his relatives
over the Internet, to locate any member of his family but of no avail,hence
i contacted you.
I got your contact from a Web directory i got from your embassy. I contacted
you to assist in repatriating the money in addition, property left behind by
my client before they get confiscated or declared
unserviceable by the bank Where this huge deposits were lodged.

about US$16 million dollars.

have the account confiscated within the next twenty official working days.

i seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since
you are of the same calibal, so that the proceeds of
this account valued at US$16 million dollars can be paid to you and then you
and me can share the money. 60% to me and 40% to you.
I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any
claim we may make. All I require is your honest co-operation to enable
us sees this deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a
legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
