Since we got information about his death we have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money.
Unfortunately,neither the family nor the relation has appeared to claim this money. We cannot release this money unless somebody applies as the
next of kin or relation to the deceased.Our banking guidelines indicated that if such money remained unclaimed for a period of Six (6) years, it would be transferred into the Banco Sabadell Treasury as unclaimed fund.
Another officer and I in the department now decided to transfer this money into your account as the next of kin or relation of the deceased
for easy collection since nobody is coming for it and we dont want this money to go back into the bank treasury as an unclaimed fund.

country.Upon your acceptance to this proposal,we have also agreed on a sharing Ration:

3.10% will be set aside to defray all incidental expenses both locally and internationally during the cause of this transaction.
Furthermore we shall be coming over to your country when the money is finanlly in your account and we shall be relying on your advise as
regards,to investment of our share,be informed that this transaction is genuine and 100% risk free considering the top level bank officials
involved.
As you know that I enjoy good office here with the bank and I will use my personality to make the official application on your behalf for approval of this money into your nominated account thereby having the banktransfer this money into your bank account.
I will advice that you furnish me with the necessary details for me to make the official application of claim on your behalf as the next of kin and beneficiary of this money with out wasting time.
