Thousand United States Dollars Only).
My relationship with Mr.Alex started in 1999 when I was working with the
Bank as a Legal Adviser, Marina branch. We met in my social club's annual
end of the year party and I introduced him to
the Bank where he deposit most of his treasures some few weeks later,making
me the Legal officer to the account which he operated until his unfortunate
demise.On the 31st of March 2002,
Mr.Alex,his wife and their two children were involved in a car accident. All
occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives.
After the incident i contacted Mr.Alex's (Ms Patricia Statz) which was his
beneficiary/next of kin but unfortunately before she could claim his estate
she too died in September 11,terrorist attack at the world trade center in
the United State Of America. See

Since then I have made several enquiries to locate any of Mr.Alex extended
relatives this has also proved unsuccessful. After these several
unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track a reliable partner who could
assist me claim this inheritance over the Internet, to locate any member of
his family or anyone related to him hence I contacted you .
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 2 years
now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased so
that the proceeds of this account valued at US$14.500,000 (Fourteen Million

foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that My
client was a foreigner and i cannot stand as a next of kin to my client.

visit your country for the disbursement/investing of my share according to
the percentages we agreed upon.If you find this proposal suitable for you do
