referred to as my client.
On the 16th of August 2002 my client, his wife And their three children were
involved in a car accident along Sagbama express road. All occupants of the
vehicle unfortunately lost there lives.

of his family hence I contacted you.
I have contacted you to assist in repartrating the money and property left
behind by my client before they get confisicated or declared unserviceable

lodged.Particularly,the finance company where the deceased had the deposits
of $6,800,000 has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have
the funds confisicated within the next ten official working days.
Since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives for over 2 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 deposits valued at $6.8 million united states dollars can
be paid to you and then you and me can share the money.50% to me and 50%
to you. I have made all necessary legal arrangements that can be used to
back up any claim we may make.
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.
