unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over three years
now, I seek your consent to present you as kin / Will

this account valued at £30Million can be paid to you.
This will be disbursed or shared in these percentages,
60% to me and 40% to you. I have all necessary legal
documents that can be used to Back up any claim
and this will be obtained From the Court of England with
the Certificate Of Deposit which has been issued to me
by the Bank. All I require is your honest Cooperation,
Confidentiality and Trust to enable us see this project through.
I guarantee you that this will be executed under a
legitimate Arrangement that will protect you from any
breach of the law. All the relevant documents that
will give you the legal backing to claim the fund will
be processed. Please acknowledge receipt of this
message by e-mail as I am based in the United Kingdom.
