I contacted you because you bear the same last name with my deceased client and therefore I can present you as the beneficiary to the inheritance, since there is no written will from my late client.

All the papers work required will be processed in your acceptance of this deal as we are prepared to offer you 40%, 50% for me, while 10% should be given to any Orphanage Home, I request that you kindly forward to me your letter of acceptance with the below details via email: oscartony1@uku.co.uk
