Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives of my late client, I seek your attention to present you as the next of kin to my late client, so that the proceedings of this box can be transfer to you . Therefore on receipt of your positive response, we shall then discuss the sharing ratio and modalities for transfers as I have every necessary information and legal documents needed to back you for the claim.
Regarding your last name similarity with my late client, coupled with the information about the deposit and the deposit certificate issued to Him by the security company which he deposited in my chamber's before his untimely death , nothing else will prevent us from not claiming this funds from the security company where these funds is lying waste.
All I require from you is your honest cooperation to enable us see this transaction through, I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. You are adviced to keep this matter as an utermost secret as I do not want a third party in this, this should be secret between me and you, if we are fast , we will not spend less than 7 working official days and have the trunk retrieved and delivered to your custody upon which I will travel to meet with you for disbursement and investment in your
