Beloved friend,

Vijay Chand, his wife and their only son were involved in a car accident in a remote village in Delta State. All occupants of the car undesirably lost their lives. Since then I have made several enquiries to his embassy here in Lagos-Nigeria to locate any of Vijay Chand Extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful to locate any member of his family.

Now the management of the bank has issued a notice to provide the next of kin to claim the funds or they have the account frozen. Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 6 years now, I contacted you to seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased since you are a foreigner so that the proceeds of this
account valued at US$17M, can be transfer to your account that you would provided, then we can share the money 50%/ for me and 50% for you because I am not a greedy person and is a deal between me and you!

In conclusion, I have made an arrangement with an attorney who will work on your behalf and secure all the necessary legal documentation that would indicate you as the Beneficiary of the fund to back up this claim, and this I must do to make sure that this fund is not wasted or end up in the wrong hands. All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us sees this deal through and secures all the legal documents. I guarantee you that this transaction will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you and I from any breach of the law.
