I have contacted you to assist in repartrating the fund valued at US$35 Million Dollers left behind by my client before it gets confisicated or declared unserviceable by the Security Finance Firm where this huge amount were deposited.
They said Security Finance Company has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have his account confisicated within the next twenty one official working days.

Therefore, on receipt of your positive response, we shall then discuss the sharing ratio and modalities for transfer.I have all necessary information and legal documents needed to back you up for claim.
