Subject: CASE OF MY LATE CLIENT............CAN I TRUST YOU?
Dear
Friend,
The
issue I am presenting to you is a case of my client who did not will a fortune
to any next-of-kin. I am now faced with who to pass the fortune to,It involves
a time deposit of $18.3Million (Eighteen Million, Three hundred thousand United
States Dollars only) in an account in the United Kingdom.
The
circumstances surrounding the death of the depositor with no known nominated
successor has made it difficult to locate anyone who is directly related to the
deceased.
The
strategy is to use my position as his Attorney to present you as a next of Kin
and beneficiary of the time deposit.
I
expect your response and if in the affirmative, contact me on my direct
telephone
number:
+447031935550 or email me at:hvon_esq@live.com
