at US$10.5 million left behind by my client before it gets

confisicated or declared unserviceable by the Security Finance

over 2years now, I seek the consent to present you as the next

of kin to the deceased since you have the same last names, so

that the proceeds of this account can be paid to you.

Therefore, on receipt of your positive response, we shall then

discuss the sharing ratio and modalities for transfer.I have all

necessary information and legal documents needed to back you up for claim.

see this transaction through. I guarantee that this will be

executed under legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
