After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace 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 money and property left behind by my client/friend before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by AfriBank Plc branch where this huge deposits were lodged, the deceased had an account valued at about 15 Million Dollars with the bank, hence the bank has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated to the government account. 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 since you are from the same country so that the proceeds of this account valued at 15 Million Dollars can be paid to you and then you and me can share the money. 50% for me and 40% for you and 10% will be used for any expenses that this might cost in the process of this transaction.
