Since then I have lodged several reports and enquiries to the embassy to
locate any of my clients relatives, all this efforts yielded no fruitful
result

After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his last name
over the Internet, to locate any member of his family,Still no result hence
I contacted you. I have contacted you to assist in repartrating the money
and property left behind by my client before they get confisicated or declared
unserviceable by the Bank

All States Trust Finance Company where he has Investment deposits Account
valued at about 22.1million dollars, has issued me a notice to provide Mr
Cacyuk Dieckmann {the next of kin} whose name appeared on the form duely
signed by Mr J Dieckmann {ACCOUNT OWNER} When the account was opened or
have the account confisicated and I have tried all I can to trace Mr Cacyuk
Dieckmann but everything proved abbortive.

Since all my efforts in locating the relatives for over 18months now yielded
no fruithful result, I hereby decided to seek your consent to present you
as Mr Cacyuk Dieckmann as the next of kin to the deceased so that the proceeds
of this account valued at 22.1million dollars can be paid to you and then
you and me 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.

What I needed from you is your Honest and maximum Cooperation to make this
deal through.

My guarantee to this deal is that it will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
