one has come as his relation for fixed deposit lodged in by my late client with the Finance. The repatriation is as a result of a fourteen days notice (ultimatum) that has been issued to me by the Finance company requesting me to present to them a next of kin to my late client so that the fund would be repatriated to him/her. Failure to do that after the expiration of the ultimatum will result in the confiscation and freezing of the account by the Finance Company. I humbly request your attention to this matter so that I can present you as his next of kin or beneficiary to his deposit. It is not a very difficult thing. All we need is to secure a Change of Ownership and Affidavit of Claim, file in an application for the release of the fund through the Probate Office in your name.It does not necessarily mean that you must be here to conclude the deal; I may request that the money be sent directly to your bank account.
