DEAR friend

I am mr wood frank, a business merchant. I am the business Associate with { MR Micheal},a ationality of your country,who lived here in lagos nigeria.On the 30th of may 2005, he was involved in a car accident along lagos/owerrri Highway. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost there lives as they are on a weekend outing.

I have contacted you to assist in repatriating his money and property left behind before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Finance Company where this huge deposits was lodged.Particularly, the deceased had an Amount about $11.4 million dollars After notification of the death of the deceased,the Finance Company has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the Funds confisicated within the next 45 days .

Since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives all this while till now,that’s why I seek your consent to Help as the next of kin of the deceased since you have the same last name so that the proceeds of this Amount valued at $11.4 million dollars can be paid to you as the bonafide approved Next of Kin.

If you agree we can discuss the percentage you will have as compensation on your involvement.I have all necessary papers that can be used to back up the facts and claim on the Fund Release. All I require is your honesty, cooperation and Sincerity to enable us see this deal through.

I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.

Awaiting your response.

BEST REGARD
