Greetings,
Please, I want to introduce myself and this business opportunity to you My name is Alex Green,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 customer who made a deposit with our bank, his name is Mr.Edward, I know you will be suprised how I got your contact I saw it on net when I was searching to see if I can get in touch with any relative of my late customer but to no avail so on the process I saw your contact and checked your profile and believe that you as a honest man will be sincere and honest that is why I requested for your co-operation for the successful implementation of this transaction without hinderance.
Sir/Ma my cleint died without any registered next of kin and as such the funds now have an open beneficiary mandate I want to also use this medium to assure you that this transaction is 100% legal and risk free. If you are interested please 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,
