car accident along sagbama express road in which all
occupants of the motor died}. My client {Douglas}
deposited as family belongings the sum of $10million
at Standard Finance & Securities Company here in Nigeria , with
the hope of transferring it to his country as soon as he is on leave.
Since his death I have made several enquiries to his country's
embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives
this has also proved unsuccessful.
I have contacted you to assist in repatriating this money left behind
by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the
security
company where this (Money) was Deposited. Since I have been
unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 3 years now. I seek
your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased so

share the money

Note that all the necessary legal documents that is required to back up the
claim shall be secured from the justice dept and i will make them available
to you.

to receive the consignment. Further, your honest co-operation is
needed to enable us see this deal through.
