Since then I have made several enquiries 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 left behind by my client before it gets confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Security Finance Firm where this huge amount were deposited. The said Security Finance Company has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated within the next 72 official working days.

I have all the necessary information and legal documents needed to back you up for claim. All I require from you is your honest cooperation to enable us see this transaction through I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
