Hello Sir/Ma,
I have written an earlier mail to you but no response.
In my first mail I mentioned to you about my late client who deposited
some fund with a Security/Finance Company here in UK before he died in
April 2003. He bears the same surname with you.
Since his death I have received several letters from the Security/Finance
Company where he deposited the fund before his death, to provide his next
of kin or any of his relatives who can make claim to the funds before the
end of the year or the Security/Finance Company will be left with no
option than to confiscate the consignment and turn the money back to the
state. As it has been marked unclaimed for 4 years. I have conducted my
personal search to see if I can make contact with any of his relatives
but without success, it is in the course of my effort that I have to
contact you.
I have closely checked and since you bear the same surname with my
deceased client it will be better to present you as the next of kin and
the right beneficiary of the funds in the account.
The total sum left in the account is $15M (Fifteen Million United States
Dollars) I will provide you with all the necessary legal backing that is
required until this money is paid out to you, and then we shall share it
base on our agreement.
Do respond quick if you are interested or should you need further
clarification because we have no much time left. I will expect your reply
on davidscoleman22@yahoo.co.uk and call me on my cell phone +447045790945.
Thanks and God bless.
DAVIDS Coleman.
