to produce his next of kin .
Particularly, Bank have given me a notice to provide the next of kin to
claim the contract valued at about US$9 Million Dollars or have the amount
confisicated, since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives for
over years, now I seek your conscent to present you as the next of kin of
the deceased since your a foreigner so that the proceeds of this account
valued at US$9 Million can be paid to you.
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this dealt
through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law of your country
and my country too as a professional legal attorney in the field.

transaction.
