Since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives for over 2 years plus now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since you have the same last name so that the proceeds of this claim of the consignment valued at 16.4million U.S Dollars can be lease to you and then you and me can share the money.75% to me and 25% to you. I have all necessary legal documents that can be use to back up any claim we may make.
