This proposal to you is to release the money to you as the
next of kin or Business Partner to the desease for safety
and subsequent Since we got information about his death,
the bank have been expecting his Next Of kin to come over
and claim his money because we cannot release it unless
somebody applies for it as next of kin or relative to the
deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines.
But unfortunately, we learnt that Morris died alongside
with his Next Of kin, his wife, Thelma, and his daughter
Sheryl, who passed on with him at the plane crash leaving
nobody behind for the claim.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I and the my
partner decided to place you as the Next Of kin to the
deceased.
The Required information are your names in full safe
contact Address Home or
office private cell phone number date of birth occupation
and banking information, now that no one is coming for it
as we do not want this money to go into the Governments
treasury as unclaimed.
Honesty and Trust is our watchward,and for your
assistance,we have humbly marped out 30% to you for
providing an account, 10% will be set aside for expenses
incured on both side during the business and 60% will be
for us.
Thereafter, I and my Partner will visit your country for
disbursement according to the percentages indicated above.
For the smooth and immediate transfer of this fund to you
as arranged.
It is important to let you know that your willing
application will be forwarded to a Lawyer/Adviser who will
procure all the documents/paper works in your favour as
the Next Of Kin Beneficiary and present it to the Bank for
expedite actions.
I count on your assistance in this business remain bless.
Best Regards.
