According to information gathered from the Financial/security
computer, He is yet to receive the balance of his fixed Deposit valued
at
USD$20.5M (Twenty Million ,Five hundren thousand United States
Dollars
Only) from the remittance office. I am saddle with the responsibility
of
seeking a genuine foreign partner who could act as his next of kin. As
the account officer, I have the Certificate of Deposit, and its
Agreement in his file with me. He left no clear beneficiary as Next of
Kin to
be contacted documents related to the Deposit, which I have in my
possession. As his financial advisor, The Governing Body of the
international
remittance office has contacted me on this matter and I am yet to
provide the Next of Kin to lay claim to the Fund. Under a clear and
legitimate agreement with you, I shall seek your consent to be
presented as
the next of Kin so that the Government as “unclaimed/Abandoned
Deposit” will not confiscate our late customer’s Fund confiscated
after
ten!
years if not claimed. So we have just few months left. Every
documentation to successfully, present you as the next of kin
If you are familiar with private banking affairs, those who patronize
our services usually prefer anonymity, but also some levels of
detachment from conventional processes. In his bio-data form, he
listed no next
of kin. He died intestate. In another year, if a next of kin is not
located to inherit the fund, the Estate will revert back to the
Bank's
accounting system as "unclaimed" Late He died with no known or
identifiable family member. This leaves me as the only person with
the full
picture of what the prevailing situation is in relation to the
deposit.
All I require is your honest, co-operation to enable us see this deal
through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. Please
get in
touch with me by e-mails so we can discuss further.You may also, send
your phone number so that I can call you.I look forward to your
urgent response.
Best Regards,
Karen Wright
