Dear Friend
Please, I want to introduce myself and this business opportunity to you My name is MR. DANIEL KOFFI a bank accountant.
I wish to know if we can work together. I would like you to stand as the next of kin to my deceased client who made some deposits of $10,500,000.00 to my bank.
He died without any registered next of kin and as such the funds now have an open beneficiary mandate.
If you are interested you do let me know so that I can give you comprehensive details on what we are to do, I urgently hope to get your response as soon as possible.
Best regards,
MR.DANIEL KOFFI.
