Since the demise of this our customer, I personally have watched with Keen
interest to see the next of kin but all has proved abortive as No one has
come to claim this fund in deposit and all the relevant documents in the
bank has No record of any next of kin. On this note, I decided to seek for
whom his name shall be used as his Next of kin. Because the banking ethics
here does not allow such Money to stay more than five years.
Consequently, the bank issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or his
business partner or have the account confiscated. Since I have been
unsuccessful in locating the relatives or business partner for over 3 years
now. I seek your consent to present you as the business partner of the
deceased since you are a foreigner so that the proceeds of this account
valued at US$5 Million can be paid to you and then both of us can share the
money. 65% to me and 30% to you 5% would be set out for local and
International Expenses incurred during the course of the transaction.
Upon the receipt of your response, I will forward to you a copy of my
Official bank I.D. card, my personal picture and a copy of the Certificate
of deposit issued to the deceased customer (Mr. Richard Brokaw) by this
bank, for proper identification of my good self and In confirmation of my
sincere purpose in this transaction after which We can now seek the services
of a financial attorney who will be your Lawyer & legal representative here,
as deceased accounts officer I can not Physically avail myself for the
procurement of this documents because Neither the lawyer nor the bank
authorities should know that I am Aware of your claims this is exactly why
we will need the services of An external attorney, but I will act under
cover and make sure that All approvals and documentation’s are obtained
because I have made all Arrangements before contacting you.
I will not fail to bring to your notice that this business is hitch Free and
that you should not entertain any fear as all modalities for The funds
