Thousand United State dollars($10.5m) in her finance house, they went on to
say that I was contacted base on information they got from some documents

Wood,personal Attorney, the bank advices me to provide them with the name of
the next of kin of the fund because for the past four years and some months
now, the account have been a dormant account.
And that any dormant account are usually rivert to government treasure as
unclaim after two years. After so many attempt I made to get in touch with
the family or relations of Mr Kenneth Wood from your country all proved
abortive .I decided to contact you because of the ultimatum of twenty one
days from now and pressure from bank which says that if I failed to foward
them with the name of the next of kin, the account will be close finally or
redirect to government treasury as unclaimed fund, as constituted by federal
law on banking industries/finance houses, for this reason your sincerely
help is needed.
On my own part as a lawyer and also the personal attorney to the deceased, I
will facilitate in getting all the necessary documents from the ministry of
justice here in London that will prove the Legality of this money, when it
is due to be transfer into your nominated account. I am proposing 35 percent
of this money to you, 5 percent for any auxillary expencese from the finance
house firm transfer charges.
