Upon Maturity, we sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but
got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered
from his contract employers (Gardiner & Theobald) that Mr. Claude Brian Best
died from an automobile accident. On further investigations, it was
discovered that he died without making a WILL and all attempts to trace his
next of kin was fruitless.

rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one will ever

constitution, at the expiration of 5 (five) years, the money will revert to
the ownership of the Government if nobody applies as the next of Kin to
claim the funds.
Consequently, I shall present you as a foreign partner to stand in as the
next of kin to late Mr. Claude Brian Best so that you and I can benefit from
the fruits of this old man's labour.
Upon acceptance of this proposal.I will forward to you the Payment
Application Form" as well as detailed information on how this deal would be
transacted.

WILL & TESTAMENT of Late Mr. Claude Brian Best and to obtain all other
relevant papers in your name for the necessary documentations for payment
approval in my bank headquarters in your favour.
The money will be shared in the ratio: Sixty percent for me, thirty five
percent for you and five percent for any arising contigencies during the
course of this transaction.
I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that
will protect you from any breach of the law as I will use my position as the
