the deceased since your a foreigner so that the proceeds of this account
valued at US$15 Million can be paid to you.
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this dealt
through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law of your country
and my country too as a professional legal attorney in the field.
Please get in touch with me on phone and also forward the bellow
informations to enable me proceed for the claim with your name.
