My Dear friend,
I am Barrister Emmanuel Tambo; I have a client who died on the 2nd of June
2005 through Plane Crash.
Unfortunately, the Finance House where the deceased had an account valued at
about US$16.5M has issued me a notice to provide the next-of-kin of deceased
as his lawyer or have the account confiscated and convert the sum to company
account at the end of this year according to the Board of director's meeting
held last month.
I will appreciate if you can help me stand as the next of kin to him and
have this money claim from them, please if you are interested do get back to
me immediately. Through this email address: emmy_tambo1968@yahoo.co.uk as
this will be beneficial to both us.
Please, if you have any questions don't fail to contact me immediately.
Regards,
Emmanuel Tambo
