This was sad news to the hearing of any human being and since then I have
made several enquiries to your embassy to locate any of my clients extended
relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful. After these several
unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his relatives over the Internet,
to locate any member of his family but of no avail, hence I contacted you.
I have contacted you on trust to assist me in receiving the money left
behind by my client before the bank he has an account with get the money
confiscated or declared his money as unclaimed fund following the bank
policy.
Particularly, the Bank where the deceased had an account valued at about
20.5 million dollars has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin of my
client or have the account confiscated within the next ten official working
days.
Since i have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 2 years
now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased so
that thetransfer of this money valued at $20.5 million dollars can be paid
to you as his next of kin for our mutual benefit.
The sharing percentage is as follow if only you will be faithful and honest
to assist me, 30% for your assistance as next of kin, 65% to me and
remaining 5% should be for expenses or tax as your government may require.
All necessary legal documents that will back up your claim of this money
will be secured by an attorney on your behalf.
All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us seeing this deal
through. I guarantee you that this business will be executed under a
legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
Please get in touch with me to enable us discuss further steps to follow.
Barrister Don Uwuor.
