In accordance with the BRITISH Banking system, the Board of Directors
of the Bank met a forth night ago and resolved to turn the
estate of the deceased over to the Government having waited for too long without the deceased relatives/next of kin surfacing and if this is done, invaluably the fund and the estate will end up to becoming
Government property and it is as a result of this that i am moved to
contact you. in view of this, I am seeking for your co-operation and
good understanding to stand as the deceased next of kin to enable us
claim the inheritance before the time period given by Bank elapse.
If you are interested and in agreement with me, please write back
immediately. Be rest assured that it is risk free project and the
proceeding will be share 75% for me and 25% will be for you once the
fund are repatriated into your account.
