Dear Friend,
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 John Eze, 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 client who made some deposits to my bank. He died
without any registered next of kin and as such the funds now have an open
beneficiary mandate.Fortunately both of you have the same last name so it
will be very easy to make you become his ficial next of kin. If you are
interested you 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
Regards,
John Eze
