of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives. Since then I have made
several
enquiries to your embassy to locate any of my clients extended
relatives,this

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 propert
left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared
unserviceable
by the bank where this huge deposit were lodged. Particularly, the Assurance
Bank Limited where the deceased had an account valued at about US$10.5
Million
has issued me a notice toprovide the next of kin or have the account
confiscated
within the six(6)weeks. Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the
relatives
for over nine (9) months now,I seek your consent to present you as the next
of kin of the deceased to
have the same last name so that the proceeds of this account valuedat
US$10.5
Million can be paid to 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 backup any
claim we may make.

through.I

will protect you from any breach of the law. Please get in touch with me
