Since his death I have made several enquiries to your
embassy to locate his relatives this has also proved
unsuccessful.after these several unsuccessful attempts I
decided to trace his last name for claiming of this money

deposited where the deceased had an account valued of
17million dollars.

provide the next of kin or have the account confisicated
within the next 14 official working days.for over 7 years
now,you should contact me immediately so that the proceeds
of signing the inheritance documents can be finalised as

can be paid to you and then, i will have share of 50% while
you will have 40% and the 10% is for any expencise that may
incaure,I will secure all necessary legal documents with
your full name as his next of kin.This documents i will
secure will backup any claime we may make in this
