On the 24th of Oct 2005 my client, his wife and their three children were involved in a Plane crash All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives.
Since then I have made esquires to your embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives, which has also proved unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace whosoever that bears his last name in your country, to locate any member of his family hence I contacted you. I have contacted to assist in repatriating the money and property left behind by my client before they get Confiscated or declared Unserviceable by the Security Company where this huge deposit were lodged.
Particularly, the Security Company. Where the deceased had an account valued at about. ($18,500,00, Eighteen Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars U.S.A) USD has 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 unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 1 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 account valued at ($18,500,00, Eighteen Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars U.S.A) Must be paid to you and then you and me can share the money 60% to me and 40% to you. I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any claim we may make. First, I must solicit your confidence in this transaction, which is of mutual benefit.
This is by virtue of its nature of being utterly confidential. I got your contact through a friend of mine in Germany. I am sure and have confidence of your ability, and reliability to prosecute a transaction of this great magnitude of TRUST. 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.
