Subject: LETTER INVITING YOU
not allow such money to stay more than eight years, because the money will be recalled to the bank treasury as unclaimed fund after this period.
In view of this I got your contact through a trade journal when i was making a research on a foreigner i will use in this great opportunity. For your assistant I am willing to
give you 20% of the total amount. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this business is hitch free and that you should not entertain any fear as all modalities for the smooth and easy transfer of this fund has been finalized, this transaction will be completed within 14 banking days of
receiving your response, after you apply to the bank as a relation to the deceased.
Please call me :+233 207345000
Please include your private Tel/Fax numbers for quick communication.
Yours Sincerely,
David Adom
