Since we have access to all Lucio Harper's information, we can claim this money with the help of my partners with the South African Mines and natural resources department.All we have to do is to file claim using you as Lucio Harper's relative.I will like to assure you that there is absolutely nothing to worry about,because it is perfectly safe with no risk involved.Please ensure to keep this matter strictly confidential .My partner will file a claim for this money on your behalf from the South African mining Corporation.When the claim is approved,you as the beneficiary will be paid (30%) of the total amouth .Since this money can be paid directly into any bank account of your choice,you have responsibility to ensure that my partner and I receive(70%)of the total amount. unforseen expenses in the cause of transfering this money.
I will appreciate if you can give your assurance and guarantee that our share will be well secured. let me know if this proposal is acceptable to you . kindly reach me immediately with my private email address; [email-masked] , so that better clearifications relating to the transaction will be explained to you.

N.B
Definitely a transaction of this magnititude needs liquid funds to execute and make it a reality, and before i contacted you,i have already made a feasibility study on how much we would need to carry out this project and it is about $25,000.USD. 
Do not be alarmed,you are not going to spend any fund of yours caused before i contacted you,i have already made an arrangement with an investor who is going to assist us with the funds needed for us to complete the transaction. If you are interested,immediately,give me your telephone/fax number and contact address for me to give to the investor,so that he can contact you and send the funds needed for us to complete the transaction.I await your urgent reply.
