of the accident,Since then I have made several enquiries to
several Embassies to locate any of my clients extendedrelatives,
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
all to no avail, hence I contacted you.
I contacted you to assist in repartrating the money and property
left
behind by my client,I can easily convince the bank with my legal

declare dunserviceable by the bank where this huge deposits were
lodged.Particularly, the Bank where the deceased had an account
valued atabout $27million U.S dollars(twenty seven million
U.S.America dollars).Conseqently,The bank 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 unsuccesfull in locating any of his relatives
for
overseveral 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
$27million U.S dollars can be paid to your account and then you

can share the money. 55%to me and 40% to you,while 5% should be
for expenses or tax as your government may require.
