Hi, I kindly understand that you do not know who I am, or even my late client, but because you have the same citizenship with my late client, then, I needed your urgent cooperation for us to claim the huge amount of money $ 12.5 million dollars that my late client deposited in the bank here in my country. Please reply back to me as soon as possible for more details. thanks. Best regards, Lawyer Wright Robert Phone: +22897724377 robertwright698@yahoo.com
