Between last year and now I have searched for his relatives without any success. I therefore ask to seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since you are also a foreigner, so that the proceeds of this account valued at $6.3 million can be paid to you and then you and I can share the money into 2 equal parts
Recently,the bank has also stated their decision to declare Mr.ALEJA MANTILLA's funds redundant and deposited into governments treasury if his next of kin does not put up a claim within the next couple of weeks, in accordance with the UK government laws to confiscate all unclaimed funds in all banks and building societies in the country. Please find below a hyperlink leading to this message for your reference: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/5171222.stm All I require from you is your honest cooperation to enable us see this transaction through. This is also confidential. I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that will protect you and I from any breach of the law. Although I know that a transaction of this magnitude appears to be apprehensive, I would like to assure you that I am sending you this information with the best of intensions.
