Hello,
I am Khan Peter presently the Manager of a Reputable
Financial institution here. I have a client who died after a berif
illness and was comatose for only four days.
Since his death his
account has been dormant and he did not declare any next of kin in his
account opening form and since his death nobody has come forward to
claim this money.
I have decided to find a reliable and trustworthy
person to present as his next of kin with legal certificates and
documents to be processed and secured by an attorney. Infact this is
going to be a legal next of kin claims.
He deposited a large sum of
money (inclusive of accrued interests) in our financial institution.
As soon as I receive your reply I shall inform you of the legal
process that will declare you as the beneficiary of the said fund.
I need an assurance that you will be trustworthy,reliable and will never betray my trust.
Knowing that without your kind assistance this deal will not be a success,
I have resolved to give you 40% while I use 60% for myself and immediate investment.
I want you to furnish me with your
full information in your next email,i.e. your full name, telephone
numbers and contact address. Hoping to receive your positive response.
Regards,
khan Peter
