Dear friend ,
Compliments and hope you are doing fine today.i have contacted you to assist me in this business of mutual benefit.
I was hired to supervise the contract payment to some foreign beneficiaries, the fund entitled to them as beneficiaries of some unclaimed deposit belonging to their late relatives that once had savings over here but due to their untimely death has been lying unclaimed for years now.
Having concluded the first part of these payment contract, I have been requested to tender all receipt of payment and other informations about all beneficiaries, after which all unclaimed fund will be confiscated and moved to the treasury as unclaimed fund.
I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and property left behind by Mr. Kerr ,who died in an auto accident with his entire family before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where this huge deposits were lodged, particularly where the deceased had an account valued at $85.5Million US dollars, the bank has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated within the next ten official working days.
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 so that the proceeds of this account valued at($85.5 Million US dollars) can be paid to you and then you and me can share the money 50% to me and 40% while goes to you and 10% will be mapped out for the expenses and taxes incurred by both parties.
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal through.I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
Best regards and get back to me as soon as possible.
You may contact me with my private mail: vinnpeters @yahoo.com for further discussion.
