Attn:Sir/madam,
I got your contact in course of my inquiry to locate relations of my Deceased Client who died with his family in a car crash on 5th August 2003.Please I need your assistance to repatriate the sum of US$28.5M which my Deceased Client left behind in a Finance Company. The finance company in possession of the deposit that contains this fund has been asking me to provide the next of kin since his demise and they are threatening to confiscate the deposit as "Unclaimed Deposit". Rather leaving the fund confiscated; based on the fact that you share the same last name with my Deceased Client I seek your consent and assistance to nominate you as my Deceased Client's Relation under legal process and risk free to repatriate the fund as I have the jurisdiction as the Deceased's P.A to testify the Deceased's Relationship with you.
Also I have the documents to complete the transaction. What I require is your willingness to assist me and to treat the transaction as a personal confidential matter until the conclusion. Contact me for further information and commencement of the transaction.Email me to my private box :d_grillo33@myway.com
Regards,
David Grillo
