I have made several enquiries to several Embassies 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 contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and property left
behind by my client; I can easily convince the bank with my legal
practice that you are the only surviving relation of my client. Otherwise
the
Estate he left behind will be confiscated or declared unserviceable by the
bank
where these huge deposits were lodged.
Particularly, the Bank where the deceased had an account valued at
about $20million U.S dollars (twenty million U.S .dollars) Consequently
The Bank issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or
have the account confiscated within the next ten official working days.
I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over several
Years now. I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the
deceased, so that the proceeds of this account valued at $20million U.S
dollars can be paid to your account and then you and me can share the money.
70% to me and 30% to you, while 5% should be for expenses or tax as your
government may require.
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
use this deal through.
I guarantee you that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement
that will protect you from any breach of the law. Please get in touch
with me by my private email:jmaroga2@o2.pl to enable us discuss further
and Please get back to me with the following informations….
