Particularly,the continental bank plc where the deceased has a balance os $5m(Five million United States Dollars)in his account.The bank has issued a final notice to me to provide the next of kin of this late client or they will be left with no other choice than to confiscate his fund.Since i have been unsuccessful in locating Daniel's relatives for the past three years,i seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of my client so that the said fund,the sum of five million United States dollars can be paid in your name instead of leaving it for the bank. I have perfected every underground work to back up any claim we may make.All that i require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this arrengement through.I garantee that this will be excuted under a legitimate arrengement that will protect us from any breach of the law.Please reply me if you can assist me.You can write to me via my private email address, kevinthamos_11@yahoo.fr, Fanally, kindly give your confidential phone/fax numbers so that i can fax or attach a specimen application which you will re-type and submit to the bank as the next of kin to engr.Daniel Douglas, also your office and residential address.For your assistance towards this,i have resolved already that we discuss between us on the equity formular we can share the money.I am urgently waiting for to hear from you as soon as as you recieve this mail.
