Hello,

without proper next of kin.

Particularly, the bank where the deceased had an account valued at about
(18m Dollars) Eighteen million Dollars has issue me a notice to provide the
next of kin of the deceased. I have contacted you to assist in repatriating
the money leftbehind by my client as the original beneficiary of the said
funds, provided you will compensate me and work according to my instruction.
Please feel free to make your interest known, as your response will be
appreciated, I will like to have your full name, address and telephone
number as internet might not be too confident in an important discussion.
Thanks,
Regards,
Barrister Michael Fulton
