a national Of your country,who worked with Shell Development Company. On the
10th of August 2005, my client, his wife and their only daughter were

then I have made several enquiries to your embassy to locate any of my
clients extended relatives, this has proved abortive.

can be paid to you. I intend to part 30% of this funds to you while 70%
shall be for me and the accounts officer .I have all necessary information
