will be claimed from the security company.
Fervent valuable efforts have been made by the Fiduciary Company and myself to
get in touch with any of her immediate family member or close relatives but
proved to no avail. Naturally, as long as her money remains

assistance with the intention of getting this unclaimed money amounting to
US9,500,000.00 (Nine Million, Five Hundred Thousand Dollars Only transferred
into a company/private bank account that you will present.
