FOR YOUR KIND ATTENTION,
We are a Corporate Financial Service Provider in Europe. We had a customer who deposited some money with us and eventually died without any reference to a next of kin.
In accordance with the EU Trust and Federal Laws, at the expiration of 6 (six) years, his investments with our Financial Trust shall revert to ownership of the government of the country of the said investments if nobody applies as the next of kin to claim the investments.
Since you share the same surname with my client. I want to present you to stand in as the next of kin so that you and I can benefit from this investment equally. I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that will protect us from any breach of the law.
If this proposal is acceptable to you, kindly indicate your telephone, fax numbers and location where the money will be remitted.
I will instruct you on the next step to take.
With friendly greetings,
James Ransome
