Hello,
Thank you for your email! However, I don't know if this will fit in our budget. Is there anything better you could do?

Good Day.

My name is Melissa Atkinson. I work in the audit department of Citibank
Group. A deceased client who was of your origin has a cash deposit with
our Bank. From the time of his death till date none of his relative has
approached the bank to lay claim of this deposit. The order according to
Ministry of Finance unclaimed deposits are to be transferred to the State
Treasury after a period of Five Years. The five years duration for this
deposit will be completed at the end of this calendar year.

There is an ongoing internal board meeting regarding this deposit. The
board members are planning to erase the history of the deceased client from
the bank database to make it possible for them to divert the funds to their
personal accounts. Since I’m not a board member I have no chance to get
any share from the funds even though I have vital details of the deposit at
my disposal. I have discussed with a very trusted lawyer and we have
agreed to work together to claim this deposit, but someone from same origin
as the deceased client is needed to accomplish this deal.

The work of the lawyer will be to procure all legal papers which will
confirm you a “Next of Kin” to the deceased client. My work is to provide
all the information about the deceased client and the deposited amount.
Your work is to stand as the next of kin to the deceased client and to
request the Bank to release the funds to you. Under the International
Monetary Law the Bank is mandated to approve monetary claim backed with
legal papers, this is why the lawyer and I are confident that this deal
will be accomplished if you stand as the next of kin.

Think about this proposal and if you are interested contact back for more
details.
