Some years ago, My Client, his Wife and their Children were involved in a
car Accident along sagbama express road. All occupants of the vehicle
unfortunately lost there lives. Since then I have made several enquiries to
your embassy to locate any of his extended relatives this has also proved
unsuccessful.

you will be willing to assist in repatriating the money and property left
behind by my Client before they get confiscated or auctioned by the company

The guidelines of the Finance Firm stipulates that if such consignment
remain unclaimed for over a period of time (2) years and some months, the
said consignment will be confiscated and this will happen after the next few
months if nobody comes for the money.
Since I have not seen any body for the consignment and his property for the
Past two years and the company has been notifying me and the notary club for
the past one year, now I seek your consent to present yourself as the next
of kin of the deceased since you share the same name/country with him so
that the proceeds of this box valued at (US$9.2 million dollars) can be
deposited to you as the next of kin.
I have all necessary information and legal documents needed to back you up
for claim. All I require from you is your honest co-operation to enable us
see this deal through. I guarantee that this will be exercuted nder
legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.

it into a Real Estate or any other Business in Your Country.
