HOWEVER, SINCE I GOT
INFORMATION ABOUT HIS DEATH, I HAVE MADE SEVERAL ENQUIRIES THROUGH HIS
EMBASSY TO LOCATE ANY OF HIS EXTENDED RELATIVES, BECAUSE I AM HIS CHEQUE
ACCOUNTANT IN THE BANK,AND THIS HAS ALSO PROVED UNSUCCESSFUL AFTER SEVERAL
ATTEMPTS.

CONFIDENTIAL AND I REPOSED ON YOU THAT YOU CAN BE CAPABLE OF EXECUTING THIS
TRANSACTION AND TO STAND AS THE BENEFICIARY AS NEXT OF KIN TO CLAIM HIS FUND

MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING OF 50% TO ME AND 45% TO YOU,WHILE 5% WILL BE FOR
EXPENSES LIKE INTERNATIONAL AND LOCAL PHONE CALLED INCURE DURING THE PROCESS
OF THE TRANSACTION. AFTER THE CLAIMING AND TRANSFER OF THE FUNDS TO YOUR
