in a car accident along Sagamu/Lagos Express Road.Unfortunately they all
lost their lives in the event of the accident, Since then I have made

kin or have the account Confiscated within the next ten official working
days.Since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives for over
several 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 $15million U.S
dollars can be paid to your account and then you and me can share the money.
