Since his death I have made several enquiries to your embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives this has also proved unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his last name over the Internet, to locate any member of his family hence I contacted you.
I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the FINANCE HOUSE where these Money were Deposited. Particularly, the IBN FINANCE PLC where the deceased Deposited (US$20,500,000)twenty million five hundred thounsand dollars,the finance house has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin with in the next ten official working days.
Since I have been unsuccessful 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 have the same last name so that the proceeds of this deposit (Money) valued at (US$20,500,000)twenty million five hundred thounsand dollars can be claim by you and then you and me can share the money, 60% to me and 40% to you.
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 and me from any breach of the law. Please get in touch with me for more information to enable us discuss furtherBest Regards,
Barrister Lucky Otutu(Esq).
