where this huge deposits were lodged. Particularly, the Bank where the

the next of kin,relatives so that the fund left will be transferred or have
the account confiscated.


Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the the relatives for over 3
years now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to the
deceased so that the proceeds of this account valued at US$35.5Million can
be paid to you and then you and I can share this money. 55% to me and 40%
to you,while 5% should be for expenses or tax as your Government may require.All
I require is your honest and co-operation to enable us see this dealthrough.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that
will protect you from any breach of the law. I will want you to send to
