benefit to the two of us.
I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make any one

Unfortunately no one knows about this accept I and the banking which he
deposited the money.
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 and his wife since I have no
place to locate any of his relatives. I can easily convince his bank in
the 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 this huge deposits were
lodged.
Particularly, My late client had an account with one
of the banks in Europe. valued at US$5.750.000
(Five million seven hundred and fifty Thousand United States
Dollars) which I witness the documentations before
he left for the states on 24 february 2005.
Conseqently,The bank issued me a notice to provide the for my client to
come forward for the claim,not knowing that he is dead.For the fact
that I and my client and the bank knew about this money,i an contacting
you to act as the next of kin to my late client.
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$5.750.000
(Five million seven hundred and fifty Thousand United States
Dollars) will be paid into your account and then you and I can share
the money. 55% to me and 40% to you,while 5% should be for expenses,tax
as your government may require.
I have all necessary legal documents that can be used
to back up any claim we willmake. All I require is
your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal
through. I guarantee that this will be executed under
a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from
any breach of the law.
