my clients extended relatives,this has also proved unsuccessful. After these
several unsuccessful attempts, I decided and do some research in the internet,

unserviceable by the bank where these huge deposits were lodged where my
client deposited $17.5million dollars.
The Bank has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin 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 of the deceased, so that the proceeds
of this account valued at US$17.5million dollars can be transferred to your
account there in your country,then you and me can share the money.I have
all necessary legal documents that back up the claim we may make.All I require
is your honest co-operation to enable us see this deal through. I guarantee
that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that will protect
you from any breach of the law. Please indicate your readiness to assist
me,so that all the informations about this funds will be passed to a you
