SCOTIA JUST OVER AN HOUR AFTER TAKING OFF FROM NEW YORK TO GENEVA.
THIRDLY, EVER SINCE WE GATHERED THE INFORMATION ABOUT HIS DEATH, WE
HAVE BEEN EXPECTING ANY OF HIS RELATIVES, COLLABORATORS OR NEXT OF KIN TO
VISIT OUR BANK AND UP TILL THIS TIME OF WRITING, NO NEXT OF KIN OR
RELATION OF HIM HAS COME FORWARD TO CLAIM HIS MONEY WITH US.
IN A NUT SHELL, THE PURPOSE OF MY WRITING TO YOU EXCLUSIVELY IS THAT I

TWELVE MILLION, FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATE DOLLARS ($12,500,00000
