Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because the management can not release it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines but unfortunately i learnt that all his family died alongside with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim.Since you have the same surname with this deceased customer
you can easyly make this deal with me,I will assist you locate for a well know respectable ATTORNEY here in SPAIN who will stand on your behalf to get every proof document which will help you to claim this money as the next of kin.It is therefore upon this discovery that I decided to make this business proposal to you and release the money to you as the next of kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and I dont want this money to go into the Bank treasury as unclaimed
Bill or decleard to the goverment of Spain will consificate it.
The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a ivorien can not stand as next of kin to a foreigner.I agreed that 40 % of this money will be for you as foreign partner, in respect
to the provision of a foreign account, while 50 % would be for me. There after I will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentages indicated. Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged,you must apply first to the
bank as relations or next of kin of the deceased indicating your bank name, your private telephone and fax number for easy and effective communication
and location where in the money will be remitted.
Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text of the application. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is a hitch free and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required arrangements have been made for the transfer.
