Subject: FEED BACK NEEDED
*Dear Sir/Madam.
Please, I want to introduce myself and this business opportunity to
you. My name is Mr Moore Lees, a Bank Accountant,I wish to know if we
can work together.
I would like you to stand as the next of kin to my deceased customer
who made a Fixed deposit of Seventeen Million United State Dollars
(US$17,000,000) with our bank.
He died without any registered Next of Kin and as such the funds
now have an open beneficiary mandate.
If you are interested please do let me know so that I can give you
comprehensive details on what we are to do. I urgently hope to get your
response as soon as possible.
Best regards,
Mr Moore Lees.*
