an expert rate contractor with Oil servicing Firm here in Nigeria when he
was still alive. Here in after shall be referred to as my client, my client
passed on as a result of a heart attack. Since then I have made several
inquiries to your embassy to locate any of my client's extended Relatives,
this has also proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace over the
Internet, 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 bank where this huge deposits were lodged,
that is the Union Bank Plc . The amount the deceased had in the fixed
deposit account is valued at about ($6 Million US Dollars).

account confiscated.
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 of the deceased
so that this account valued at ($ 6 Million US Dollars) can be paid to you,
after which me and you will share the money. The sharing modality is still
open and negotiable. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us
see this business through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a
legitimate arrangement that will protect you, from any breach of the law.
