a fixed dopsit valued at (USD$5.9M) , and upon the maturity this bank
started contacting him but no response. Conseqently,the bank issued me a
notice to provide the next of kin or have the account
confiscated after four years,as the law of this land says. Since then have
made several enquiries to your Embassy to locate any of my clients extended
relatives,this has also proved unsuccessful.Since i have been unsuccesfull
in locating the relatives for over two years now I seek your consent to
