After several attempts to locate a member of his family, hence I contacted you. I am contacting you to assist me repatriating the money and properties left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank here, were this huge
deposit was lodge. Particularly, the bank where the diseased had an account valued at [11million dollars] has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated within the next fourteen official working days.
 
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relative for the past years, now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to my late client.
Since you both have the same surname and you are capable of doing this transaction. So that the proceeds of this account valued at [11miilion dollars] can be paid to you,! then yo u and I can share the money 60% for me and 30% for you, while 5% will be used to offset all the expenses incurred in the course of this transaction including tax and 5% for the poor
in your country. I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up our claims.
All i require is your honest co-operation to enable us seeing this transaction through. I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
