involved in a car accident, all occupants of the
vehicle unfortunately lost there lives. Since then I
have made several enquiries to locate any of my
clients extended relatives, this has also proved
unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful
attempts, I decided to trace his relatives over the
Internet, to locate any member of his family but of no
avail, hence I contacted you. I have contacted you to
assist in repatriating the fund left behind by my late
client because the bank have asked me as his lawyer 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$21 Million Dollars or have the amount confiscated,
since I have been unsuccessfully in locating the
relatives for over years, now I seek your consent to
present you as the next of kin of the deceased since
you are a foreigner so that you can stand as his next of kin to whom
the money can be payed to.All I require is your honest cooperation to
enable us

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.Iagree to give you 30percent ofthe money after successful
transfer of the whole money to your account abroad.
Finally, kindly maintain confidentiality between me
and you on this transaction.
Note: Some of the lawyers in my office have been
planning to divert this particular amount of money but they failed
because I never authorized
anybody to do that, as the principal attorney of this
estate I hereby urge your assistance to get this fund
transfer into your account legitimately which I am
assuring you. Some lawyers may contact you in
different ways concerning this claim, don’t respond to
them, forwarding me the message they send to you so
that I can get them sacked and arrested.
