this money as his heir, because they all died in the same accident
himself and his wife(May their soul rest in peace). We cannot release
the fund from his account unless someone applies for claim as the next-
of-kin to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines.upon this
discovery, I Now seek your permission to have you stand as a next of
kin to the deceased, as all documentations will be carefully worked out
by me for the funds (US$12,000,000.00) to be released in your favor as
the beneficiary's next of kin. Because after five years the money will
be called back to the bank treasury as unclaimed bills and the money
shared amongst the directors of the bank. so it is on this note I
decided to seek for whom his name shall be used as the next of
kin/beneficiary to this funds rather than allow the bank directors to
share this money amongst themselves at the end of the year. it may
interest you to know that we have secured from the probate an order of
mandamus to locate any of the deceased beneficiaries. Please

business endeavor by furnishing me with the following information if
