House has issued me a notice to provide the next-of-kin or have the deposit
confiscated after five years if not claimed and we have just little time
left.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 4 years
plus now, I seek your consent to present you as the next-of-kin of the
deceased so that the proceeds of this account valued at £10.5 Million
Paunds can be paid to you after which we can then share the money between us
on agreeable percentage. I have all necessary legal documents that can be
used to back up any claim we may make.
