What a pity and sending my condolence to his Late family, this my client and his family died in an Air crash on 30th Jan 2000, And since then I have made several enquiries to the foreign ambassadors to locate any of my clients Extended relatives but to my closest research this has also proved unsuccessful. So now I had to get your email address through the office of the Nigerian Chamber of Commerce and Industry. I do want a trusted foreigner whom I can make this contract with.
There will be a sharing onto which 1s 10% for settling taxation or implemental expenses incurred then 50% for you whom which the money will be moved into your account and then 40% will be for me and my bank colleagues.
