million, five hundred thousand united states dollars
only) which the bank now unquestionably expects it
to be claimed by any available foreign next-of-kin
of the late beneficiary. fervent valuable efforts
are being made by the union bank to locate his
next-of-kin without success and since I am his
attorney, a letter was sent to me to provide his
next of kin or relatives, which I tried but proved
to no avail.
It is because of the perceived possibility of not
being able to locate any of late engr. WILLIAMS next-of-kin (he had no wife and children) that the
management under the influence of the chairman and
member of the board of directors, retired major
general EBI KALU, that the fund should be
declared un-claimable \" until the next-of-kin of
late engr. WILLIAM comes to claim the funds, my
interest of writing you is because i know you can be of help to me hence you have the same last name with my late client ,
so my confident in the bank and i now seek your
permission to have you stand or rather front you as a next-of-kin to my
late client so that the funds can be released to you
as you as the beneficiary next-of-kin, all documents and
proves to enable you get this fund us$6.5m will be
carefully worked out by me and more so we are
assuring you of a 100% risk free involvement.
