relatives over the Internet, to locate any member of his family but of
no avail, hence I contacted you to assist in repatriating the money
that belong to my client before they get confiscated or declared

next of kin or have the account confiscated within the next ten
official working days.
Since i have been unsuccessful in locating the elatives for over 4 years
now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the
deceased, so that the proceeds of this account valued at $20 million
dollars can be paid to your account and then you and me can share the
money 55% to me and 40% to you, while 5% should be for expenses or tax
as your government mayrequire, As soon as you indicate your interest by
