Dear Friend,
I am Barrister kenneth Nkwocha, a solicitor at law,and the Personal Attorney
to Mr. Winston Ungaro, a National of your country, who used to work with
Strabag construction Company in Nigeria. On the 21st of April 2002 my client
,his wife and their two children's were involved in a car accident along
Sagbama Express Road lagos, Nigeria . All occupants of the vehicle
unfortunately lost their lives. Since then I have made several enquiries to
your embassy to locate any of my client's relatives, this has also proved
unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace
his last name over the Internet, to locate any member of his family hence I
contacted you I have contacted you to assist in repatrating the money and
property left behind by my client before they get confisicated or declared
unserviceable by the UNION BANK NIG PLC where the deceased has an account
valued at about[ 16 million Dollars]were lodged, and the bank has issued me
a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confisicated.*

over 3 years now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to
the deceased so that the proceeds of this account valued at [ 16 Million
Dollars] can be paid to you and then you and l can share the money. 50% for
me and 40% for you and 10% will be used for any expenses that this might
cost on the process of the transfer.We would need to procure all legal
documents on your behalf that can be used to back up any claim we may make.

through. I guarantee that this transaction will be executed under a
legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. It
is 100% risk-free. Please your urgent reply is needed.*
