The idea of presenting somebody who is not related to our deceased
customer to act as his next of kin came into our mind, that is how and
why we have contacted you to present you as his next of kin , so that
the $30,000.000.00 Million usd will be paid to you and we can both disburse
the fund according to the percentage we will agree on. In view of this,
I am seeking for your co-operation and understanding to stand as the
next of kin to our deceased customer, to enable us claim the fund from
my bank. Hence, If this proposal is OK by you and you do not wish to
take undue advantage of my trust, then I hope to bestow on you.
Please kindly get back to me immediately, to enable me enlighten you on
how we are to proceed. On getting your response, we shall agree on
the percentage of disbursing the $30,000,000.00usd between us, as we
intend to invest part of our own share in real estate business in
your country, and we would appreciate if you can put us in the right
part investing in your country. I will not contact any person or
company until I hear from you, so as to enable me decide on what to do next.
Be rest assured that this business is 100% risk free. We await for your prompt
response.
Regards,
Benny Wrigth
