relatives for over 3 years 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 us$ 9.6 million
dollars can be paid to you and then you and me can
share the money. Like this, 60% to me and 30% to you
and 10% will be maped out for any expences incured in
the process of transfering this funds.
