There is a perceived possibility of not being able to locate any of late
Mike Hall's next of kin (he had no children known to us.) The management
under the influence of our chairman and members of the Board of Directors
has made arrangement for the fund to be declared "Unclaimed" and
subsequently transfer into their personal account.
ln order to avert this negative development, I, now seek your permission to
have you stand as next of kin to Late Mike Hall's, so that the fund US$
10.5Million will be released and paid to your account as beneficiary or next
of kin. All documents and proofs to enable you get this fund will be
carefully worked out. We have secured from the probate an order of mandamus
to locate any of the deceased beneficiaries. I have agreed to give you 50%
of the fund for your involvement; then 50% will be me. I am assuring you
that this business is 100% risk free, and need only maturity from all the
parties involved. As soon as we receive acknowledgement of your acceptance
of this our mutual business proposal with your full information, we would
proceed into action immediately.
If this proposal is acceptable by you, do take advantage of the trust we
have bestowed on you, get in touch with me immediately.
