After few months, My client and his family of two died on their way to a holiday resort in Glassgow, scotland in an explosion which hit the Nigeria underground trains on the 7th July 2005. I was in my office when the metropolitan police came on air to announce the tragedy and finally declared that 33 were lives was lost and that the casualties numbered up to 700. before his death,my client had a total sum of $9.5 million USD with a finance house Hoping to transfer the fund to his country {United States of America} in no time before he and his family met a suden death. According to the DEED OF WILL made by my late client, He declared that on his demisation, That this money and other property be made-over to his only child(a boy) and wife,Agnes. I have consequently decided that since you are a foreigner like my late client,I would rather present you tothe holding Bank as the true next of kin to my late client and get the money claimed and be shared among the authorized beneficiaries than allowing the holding Bank to convert it to your own account forever.I agree to pay you 40% of the fund as the account owner, 50% for me, and 10% goes directly for expenses , kindly do remember to Provide the following information for the application processing.
