Bank/Finance security company,has issued me a notice as the Attorney to
provide the next of kin to my late client for claims on the deposit or have
the account confiscated after four years if not claimed and We have just one
year left 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 have the same last name so that the proceeds of this
account valued at 12.5 million dollars can be pay to you and then you and I
can share the money.
However,i have agreed to give you 40% of the total sum for your assistance,
while 55% for me when the money is finally transfered into your accountand
5% of the fund will be earmarked for expenses that will be incurred during
the process of transafer of the fund. I have all necessary legal documents
that can be used to back up any claim we may make.
