Subject: information
It is pertinent for you to note that you need not be a relation of someone for the fellow to bequeat money to you as next of kin. If you are a Christian then you must believe in miracles. It is the will of God that you are the one that I have chosen to run this transaction among the whole people of the world. You should be thankful to God for this. I will place a phone call to you but will like to know the best time to do so that I will not wake you up from sleep. You must be aware of the time zone difference between Africa and ur country.. The late Mr.Guei Walter of blessed memory left the sum of USD30m in care of Associated Securites which in turn deposited the money with WEMA BANK OF NIGERIA PLC shortly before his death. I have with me the Certificate of Deposit issued to him by the Bank shortly after the deposit was made. This will be forwarded to you as an attachment in my subsequent messages along with the Death Certificate. You are required to act as the next of kin to Mr. Guei Walter and this will permit the bank to pay the money to your account as maybe submitted in the application for the transfer. As an active Lawyer, I will ensure that all relevant documents to support your status as the next of kin will be procured from the appropriate quarters. The Bank will ask a few questions that I have ready answers for. I will like you to send me the Bank account details where you will want this fund transferred by the Wema Bank when the application is submitted. The Account details will be included in the Application and that is why you will have to send it now. If you are some how skeptical about sending your existing bank account information, then establish a new account and send . My Phone number is 234 80 62504026. Call me anytime and I will talk with you. Please, do understand that this transaction is very confidential and must be treated as such. With your full co-operation, this transaction will be completed within 11 bank working days with effect from the very day that you send the account details. I will be hoping to hear from you soon, but please, note that it will be good that we both have constant communication with each other for the success of this transaction. Thanks, Ken Rondo
