I have to be brief about it. And if you are not willing just say "No thank you.
"On June 6, 1997, an Iraqi Foreign Oil consultant/contractor with the British Petroleum Co-operation Mr. al-nafs al-zakiyya made a numbered time (Fixed deposit) for 36 calendar months, valued GBP in my branch.
Upon maturity in 2000, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employers, the British petroleum corporation that Mr. al-nafs al-zakiyya died as a result of a car bomb in dealings with Sadam Hussein during one of his trips to his country (Iraq). On further investigation, I found out that he died without making a WILL, and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless.
I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr.al-nafs al-zakiyya . Did not declare any next of kin or relation in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paper work in my Bank.

I have secured from the probate an order of mandamus to locate any of the deceased beneficiaries, and more so I are assuring you that this is risk free involvement. Your share stays while the rest be for me and for investment purpose, as I will leave London by the end of the year.
The sharing of the funds will be based According to agreement between {both of us} that is, you and me. As soon as I receive an acknowledgement of receipt of this message in acceptance of our mutual proposal, I will furnish you with the necessary modalities and disbursement ratio to suit both parties without any conflict. If this proposal is acceptable by you, do not take undue advantage of the trust I have bestowed to contact you via email.
