be paid to you and we can both disburse the fund according to the percentage
we will agree on. In view of this, I am seeking for your co-operation and
understanding to stand as the next of kin to my deceased client, to enable
us claim the fund from the bank. Hence, if this proposal is OK by you and
you do not wish to take undue advantage of my trust, then I hope to bestow
on you.
Please kindly get back to me immediately, to enable me enlighten you on
how we are to proceed. On getting your response, we shall agree on the
percentage of disbursing the $15,600,000.00 (15.6M) between us, as i intend
to invest part of my own share in real estate business in your country, and
i would appreciate if you can put me in the right part investing in your
country. I will not contact any person or company until I hear from you, so
as to enable me decide on what to do next. be rest assured that this
business is 100% risk free.
I have all the necessary official and legal documents that can be used to
back up your claim. All I require is your honest co-operation to enable me
as the legal attorney to the deceased in seeing
that you receive the fund into your account. I guarantee that this will be
executed legitimately to
