Dear partner,
How are you? I am Mr. Fredrick Longman a senior staff of a reputable
private bank in the United Kingdom.
I have a business proposal which is of uttermost importance to you and

work before her death to get hold of a trustworthy person that could
come in as her next of kin as she did not have any before her death.
Should you be intrested, please send me your names and your contact
telephone number so that I can give you a call.
Please reply to my personal email contact which
