On the 21st of April 1999, my client, his wife and their only child were involved in a car accident along Bagida 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 my clients extended relatives this has also proved unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his last name over the Internet, to locate any member of his family hence I contacted you. I have contacted you to assist in repartrating the money and properties left behind by my client before they get confisicated or declared unserviceable by the security company where this huge deposits were lodged.
Particularly, the ONYX CREDIT TRUST GROUP. is a FINANCE/SECURITY COMPANY where the deceased had an deposited valued at about Seventeen million US dollars (US$17m)has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the consignment confiscated within the next ten official working days. Since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the the relatives for over 2 years now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since you have the same last name so that the proceeds of this account valued at Seventeen Million US dollars(US$17m) can be paid to you and then you and me can share the money.
70% to me and 30% to you,I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any claim we may make. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this dealt through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. Please get in touch through my email address if you are intrested.
