The Management and the Legal department of our BANK in a recent meeting, Recommended that the account of Mr. Alexander H.

Mr. Alexander H. Chiang is an account holder in my branch, he owns a
Secret dollar account with the sum of Thirtty Nine Million, Seven Hundred Thousand United States Dollars Only .Since his death, no next of kin of the Dollar account holder nor any relative of his has shown up for the claim ,this is because he has the account as a secret account thus he left all the documents for the deposit with me.This is where I am interested and where I want you to come in.
I want you to come in as the next of kin of the deceased, I will give you the relevant documents and contacts to file the claim application and then effect the approvals for the transfer of the money, I will be the one toprovide the vital documents for the claims of the money and then advise you exactly on how we should handle it,my solicitor will handle all the legal process and perfect the process of the transfer of the money to you.
