Good day,
My name is Michael Kent I am the personal attorney/sole executor to my late client who shares similar Surname with you.
After the death of my client in an auto crash since the year 2007, the bank contactyed me to provide his Next of kin to inherit his fortune totaling Thirty Seven Million United States Dollars (US$37,000,000.00) according to the existing banking policy.
I have written several letters to his country embassy with the intent of locating any of his immediate or extended family who will stand as the next of kin and all my efforts has been to no avail.
I have received official letters from the board of directors of the holding bank in the last few weeks suggesting a likely proceeding for confiscation of his abandoned personal assets in line with existing laws therefore I have been issued a 30 working days ultimatum to provide his next of kin or forfeit the deposit.
From my professional experience I can use a legal means to re-profile and present you as the next of kin to my deceased client since you share same surname to enable you put a claim to the funds on our behalf.
Please kindly indicate your interest by sending me your direct telephone number through my private email contact as follows:{privatematter@naver.com } to enable us discuss further.
Yours sincerely,
Barr. Michael Kent
