DECIDED TO SEEK FOR WHOM HIS NAME SHALL BE USED AS
THE NEXT OF KIN, AS NO ONE HAS COME UP TO
PUTCLAIM AS THE NEXT OF KIN TO THIS FUNDS AND THE BANKING
ETHICS HERE DOES NOT ALLOW SUCH MONEY TO
STAY MORE THAN SEVEN YEARS, BECAUSE
AFTER SIX YEARS THE MONEY WILL BE CALLED BACK
TO THE BANK TREASURY AS UNCLAIMED BILL.
IN VIEW OF THIS I GOT YOUR CONTACT THROUGH MY
COUNTRY'S FOREIGN TRADE MISSION AFTER I WAS CONVINCED IN MY MIND THAT
YOUR NAME/COMPANY COULD BE USED AS THE NEXT OF KIN TO THIS CLAIM. THE
REQUEST OF THE FOREIGNER AS A NEXT OF KIN IN THIS BUSINESS IS
OCCASIONED BY THE FACT THAT THE CUSTOMER WAS A FOREIGNER AND A
NIGERIAN
CANNOT STAND AS THE NEXT OF KIN TO A FOREIGNER.
I AGREED THAT 30% OF THIS MONEY WILL BEFOR YOU AS A FOREIGN PARTNER IN
RESPECT OF PROVIDING AN ACCOUNT WHILE10% WILL TAKE OF ANY EXPENSES

DRAFT APPLICATION OF CLAIM WHICH YOU
WILL SEND TO THE BANK AS THE NEXT
