lodged.Particularly, the Bank where the deceased had an account valued at about $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 the 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 $27million U.SDollars can be paid to your account and then you and me can share the money. 55%to me and 40% 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 ussee this deal through.
