Dear Sir,
Good day, I need your services in a confidential matter regarding money
out of a family beneficiary estate.
This requires a private arrangement, Could you perhaps receive these
funds under legal claims?.
I am willing to pay a generous management fee as well as appreciation
for fewer questions asked.
I will need you in legal capacity to file for a post-mortem redemption.
I have all the details.
All correspondences will be via email, for now. The funds in question
are quite large. I will expect a straight answer from you. Yes or no. If
yes,then lets work out the modalities.
Thanks
miss joy williams
