account valued at about 6.4 million U.S
Dollars has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the fund
confisicated within the next 60 official working days. Since I have been
unsuccesfull in locating the relatives for over 2 years now I seek your
consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since the bank
is ready to welcome anybody who applied as the next of kin despite your
race so that the proceeds of this account valued at 6.4 million U.S Dollars
can be claim by you and then you and I can share the money.

70% to me and 25% to you while 5% is set aside for expences incured during
the transaction. I have all necessary legal documents that can be use to
back up any claim we may make. All I require is your honest cooperation
to enable us see this deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed
under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of
