Since the demise of this my client, I personally has watched with keen
interest to see the next of kin but all has proved abortive as no one
has come to claim his funds deposit of US$10 m, [THIRTY FOUR MILLION
DOLLARS] which has been with Finance Company for a very long time. On
this note, I decided to seek for whom his name shall be used as the
Next of kin as no one has come up to be the next of kin. And the
banking ethics here does not allow such money to stay more than eight years,
becausemoney will be recalled to the bank treasury as unclaimed after
this
period.
In view of this I got your contact through a trade journal after
realizing that you might stand as next of kin to the deceased. And with
respect to your personality, I will give you 40% of the total
sum while 60% will be mine. Upon the receipt of your response, I will
send you email on the next step we shall follow for us to actualize the
transfer of the funds to you for our mutual benefit.
I will not Fail to bring to your notice that this business is hitch
free and that you should not entertain any fear as all modalities for
fund transfer can be finalized within 10 banking days.When you receive
this letter. Kindly send me an e-mail or call me on my private mobile
phone signfying
your interest. +234 80 53243105
Respectfully,
Barrister Femi William.(SAN)
