take your time and read this email very well.
I am a Banker; my name is Mr ELUCHI MARK ABIA, an accountant.I am the accounts
Manager to a late Engineer, a white foreigner whom I have financial dealings for
a long time now. He was a contractor with the DEPARTMENT OF PETROLEUM RESOURCES
VICTORIA ISLAND, LAGOS. On 10,Dec 2005, my customer/client,his wife, and his only
son were involved in a SOSOLISO AIRLINE CRASH.
My client and his family all died in that fatal air crash. Since then,I have
made several attempts and inquiries to locate any of his extended
Relatives,but this has Proved unsuccessful.
After several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace a good and reliable
Person over the Internet, that can help me in repatriating this fund left behind
in our Bank since the bank i work for and where the funds is at present intend
to declare the funds unservicable if nobody come for the money.
I am contacting you to assist me in repatriating this money left behind by my
Customer/client before they get Confiscated or declared unserviceable by the
bank where these huge deposit was lodged, particularly this Bank that I am
presently working, Where the deceased had an account Valued at TWENTY MILLION,
FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS,The Bank has issued a notice to
provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated within a short period of
time.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives of my client,I now seek
your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased so that the
proceeds of this account valued at TWENTY MILLION,FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS
will be transferred into your account and we will share the unds according to an agreed ratio.
I have arranged everything and you will not engage in anything that is illegal.I
have made arrangements with a good Attorney to assist us.

documents that can be used to back up the inheritance claim.
