Dear Friend,

On the 21th of April 2002, Engr.Tahir Mcgraw, his wife and their children were involved in a car accident along Lagos/Shagamu express road.
Unfortunately they all lost their lives in the event of the accident, since then I have made several enquiries to your embassy to locate any of his extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful.

I contacted you to assist in repatriating the money In addition,
property left behind by my client before they get Confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank Where this huge deposits were lodged. Particularly, the bank where the deceased had an account valued at about US$13.5million dollars.
