I believe that you might be aware of the sad occurrences that happened between the year 2000 and 2003 when the so called (LAND REFORM PROGRAM) was initiated by President Robert Mugabe which almost clear all the entire foreigners in Zimbabwe and a lot of them lost their lives during the attacks by the Zimbabwean Forces ordered by President Mugabe.

after the Death of my client, I was contacted by the Management of Stanbic Bank here in Zimbabwe to inform me that my Late Client made a total fixed deposit of Five Million United States Dollars (US$5,000,000) with the Bank since the year 2003 before his death but there was no name mentioned to claim this fund as Next of Kin in case of his death.
As the only Lawyer to the Deceased, the Bank wants me to contact the family of the Deceased oversee to get the Next of Kin to claim this fund.
I have made all efforts that could be made to trace his family but all to no avail. If I report to the Bank that he does not have family members, it means the fund will be sent to the Zimbabwean government of which I don't want to happen so this is why I have contacted you.
I will provide all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any claim you may make. All I require is your honest Co-operation, Confidentiality and Trust to enable us sees this transaction through. I guarantee you that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
I will need you to provide me with the needed information below to enable me file a letter of claim to the bank with the information as the beneficiary information of were they should effect the payment of the fund:
