an account that has been dormant for sometime now and from my investigations

I am contacting you to assist me in repatriating the money left behind by
this late client .do help me,before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable
by the bank where this huge deposit were lodged which is where i work.

My employers, where the deceased had an account valued at about 3.5 million
pounds has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account
confiscated within the next fourteen official working days.

Based on this development i need you to come forward and stand in as the
beneficairy, so that the proceeds of this account valued at 3.5million pounds
can be paid toyou and then you and i can share the money. 60% to me and
40% to you.

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 the law. Please get in touch with me
by my private email:
