My proposition is to present you as the beneficiary to this contract payment ,then we can share the amount on a mutually agreed-upon percentage.
With my position, I am the only one who can confirm to the Directorate of Payment the beneficiary to this unclaimed contract payment and furthermore recommend payment to such a person. So i will use my position to update the deceased payment receving files in your favour.
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this transaction through . Pls treat this letter confidential.I will explain the details of this transaction when I hear from you.
