Dear Friend .
With all due respect to your personality, I request that you do not feel disturbed as I know that transaction of this magnitude will surely make one apprehensive.

Here in after shall be referred to as my client. On the 21st of April 2005, my client, his wife and their only daughter were involved in a car accident along Nouvissi express Road.
All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives. Since then I have made several inquiries to your embassy here to locate any of my clients extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts,I decided to track 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 fund valued at US$10.5million ( Ten Million Five Thousand US Dollars) left behind by my client before it gets confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Security Finance Firm where this amount was deposited. The said Security Finance Firm has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have his account confiscated within the next twenty one official working days.
Since I have been unsuccessfully in locating the relatives for almost two years now, I seek the consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased since you have the same last names, so that the proceeds of this account can be paid to you.
Therefore on receipt of your positive response, we shall then discuss the sharing ratio and modalities for transfer.
I have all necessary information and will be here to lead you accurately in every documentation that will back you up in the successful claim of this Fund,All I require from you is your honesty cooperation to enable us sail through in this transaction.
I sincerely guarantee that this will be executed and carried out under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law and enhance a smooth transaction.
