From my investigations and confirmation,my client left his next of kin column blank, and had a single on entry visa into the UK , which is why no one has knowledge of the deposit except us a DBS. I have requested for alot information to your embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives this has also proved unsuccessful. in locating a relative for over 3 years now. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to search for his last name via the Internet,to locate any member of his family.Henceforth,I contacted you to assist me in repatriating the money and property left behind by my late client beforethey get confiscated or declared unserviceable
Please be informed that the proceeds of this Deposit valued at 8.3 million pounds. Will be shared as follows: 80% for my colleagues and me,20% to you.
