2003 in motor assident at ABUJA NIGERIA. Since this development, we have
advertised for his next of kin or any close relation to come forward to
claim this money, but nobody came to apply for the claim. To this effect,
I and two other officials in my office, have decided to look for a trusted
foreign partner who can stand in as the next of kin to the deceased and
claim this money.We need a foreign partner to apply for the claim because
of the fact that the customer was a foreigner and we don't want this money
to go into the Banks Treasury as unclaimed fund.

perfect every document to be in accordance with the banking law and guidelines,
So you have nothing to worry about.We have agreed that 40% of the money
