In accordance with the Federal Banking Laws and Constitution, at the expiration of five (5) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the British Government IF NOBODY COMES FORWARD TO CLAIM THE FUNDS AS THE NEXT OF KIN.

We shall also require the services of an Attorney to draft the WILL/LAST TESTAMENT of Late Mr. Robert Ebner in order to obtain other relevant documents necessary for the payment approval in your favor.
The money will be shared in the ratio: Sixty (60) percent for me, Thirty Five (35) percent for you and Five (5) percent for any arising contingencies on the course of this transaction.
I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law, as I will use my position as the Branch Manager to secure approvals and guarantee the successful execution of this transaction.
