Subject: Re: INHERITANCE
Dear Madras House,
Thank you for your mail.
It was not by mistake that i contacted you because i was left with no other option than this ,due to the fact that i have exhausted all possible means to locate any of my late clients relative or next of kin as no "will" was drawn before his untimely death and the final deadline given by the security company is just few days away,l will like to introduse you as the next of kin to my late client.
As i earlier stated in my previous mail that if nobody is presented to the security company as next of kin to my late client who will be entitled to the fund, the Box will be frozen at the expiration of the deadline given by the company and the board of directors will share the money amongst themselves.
I have worked very hard all these years and will not just sit by and watch the money disappear like a thin wind, because my relationship with my late client was cordial and such closeness gave me the opportunity to be in posession of the deposit certificate for the Box and secret access code.
These informtions/documents makes it easy for us to claim this fund without any hitch.
Other remaining informations/documents will be forwarded to you in due course. The first and most important step to take at this point is to send an application to the security company as the next of kin/beneficiary to my client in order to demand for the release/transfer of this box to you, because we are only few days away from the final deadline given by the Company for the legal next of kin to forward an application.,so l will like you to forward to me all this information which l will you to prepar an application which you will send to the security company for the release and transfer of the consignment to you :
YOUR FULL NAME
FULL ADDRESS
OCCUPATION
AGE
TELEPHONE/ FAX NUMBER
Once i am in receipt of your response to this mail, i will send to you a specimen of an application text which you should send to the company and copies of both deposit and death certificates to substantiate your claim. And more so l will like you to call me for more clarifications and modality which this transaction will take place 00229-93 41 50 69.
Best regards,
Barr.Roland Gbotem.
