Since his death I have made several enquiries to your embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives this has also proved unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his last name over the Internet, to locate any member of his family hence I contacted you.
I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and property left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where these Money were Deposited. Particularly, the (FBN) MERCHANT BANK OF NIGERIA PLC, where the deceased Deposited (US$12,300,000)twelve million three hundred thounsand dollars, the bank has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin within the next ten official working days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 3 years 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 deposit (Money) valued at (US$12,300,000)twelve million three hundred thounsand dollars can be claim by you and then you and I can share the money. 60% to me and 40% to you I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any claim we may make.
If you are willing to transact this business with me, kindly get back to me as soon as you received this email, in your return mail, your private contact telephone number, fax number full name and address and your designated bank coordinates to enable me file a letter of claim to the appropriate departments for necessary approvals before the transfer.
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal through, I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitmate arrangement that will protect you and me from any breach of the law, Please get in touch with me for more information to enable us discuss further.
