Federal Republic of Nigeria further mandates the deceased attorney to
repatriate the funds to original country of deceased if established. The
Bank has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account
confiscated within the next 21 official working days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives after the
disaster,I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to the
deceased sothat the proceeds of this account valued at S$10,500,000.00)
