Subject: Business Proposal
Dear ,
Greetings!
Do accept my apologies if my mail does not meet your personal ethics, I
want to introduce myself and this business opportunity to you. My name is
Barrister kushi coskta a personal attorney to my late client. I wish to
know if we can work together.
I would like you to stand as the next of kin to my late client who has an
account valued 3.2million united states dollars,with a bank here in
Malaysia. He died without any registered next of kin and as such the
funds now have an open beneficiary mandate. The board of directors of his
Bank adopted a resolution and I was mandated to provide his next of kin
for the payment of this money Within 28 working days or forfeit the money
to the Bank as an abandoned property.
Fortunately, both of you have the same last name so it will be very easy
to make you become his official next of kin. If you are interested, 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 posible
Yours sincerely,
Barr. kushi coskta.
