Dear Sir,
I am a financial consultant rendering uninterrupted consulting
services to some banks and VIP clients around the world. My aim of
contacting you is as below.
We want to claim/invest an unclaimed sum of $185,500,000.00 (One
hundred and eighty five Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States
Dollars only) in an account that belongs to a diseased foreign
customer (my client) who died in road accident with his family.
Since his death in 2015, the bank have been expecting his next-of-kin
to come over and put claims for his money as the heir, because his
fund cannot be released from his account unless someone applies for
claim as the next-of-kin to the deceased as indicated in the banking
guidelines.
Unfortunately, both their family members nor distant relatives cannot
be located and none has ever appeared to claim the said fund. Upon
this discovery, I was consulted as his financial consultant by some
concerned officials in the bank to source for someone whom can be
presented as the next of kin to the deceased, claim the money legally
and invest it to our own benefits.
I have all the necessary legal documents that can be used to back up
any claim we may make. I guarantee that this will be executed under a
very legitimate arrangement that will protect both of us from any
breach of the law now and after.
Do get back to me by return email if you can handle this transaction.
Your reward and benefits will be fantastic.
More details will be given to you as soon as I get your response.
Yours Faithfully,
Mr.Charles Edward
