Dear Sir/Ma,
Allow me to introduce myself, Garry Wesley, the son of cole Wesley, who died during the Cypriot plane crash in Greece. I lost my mom when i was very very young,I am the only exixting family member as it is now and i am 17 years old still in college.
During my search on my dads Laptop computer, I found out he made a made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit in his bank and was due to mature last friday 18th August 2005 and only to be withdrawn by him or his partner who was on the same flight with him too when it crashed.
If you wish to help me, send me an email Consequently, I shall present you as my dads partner to stand in as the next of kin so we can get the funds out and i can pay my school fees and proceed with my education and still get myself into business when i turn 18 december.
