Unfortunately they All lost their lives in the event of the crash, Since
then I have made several inquiries to your embassy to locate any of my
clients extended
relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful. After these several 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
before they get
confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where this huge deposit
were lodged here in Nigeria Particularly.
The Bank where the deceased had an account valued at about $16.5 million
U.S Dollars (Sixteen million, five hundred thousand 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.
Since I have been unsuccessfully in locating the relatives for over 4 years
now. I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased
since
you are a foreigner so that the proceeds of this account valued at $16.5
million U.S dollars can be paid to you 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 us seeing
this deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a
legitimate arrangement that will
protect you from any breach of the law.

keep it secret till the funds gets to your account.
