Few hours later:

Dear ,

Good news, the documents that give you the legal right as the next of kin and sole beneficiary to the funds came out this morning and the attorney has applied for the release of the funds.

You have to be fast with the account opening because in two day the application for the funds will be approved and my bank will send for the attorney on a request whether or not his client (YOU) will continue banking with them (MY BANK) which we both know the answer is no, then they will ask him where is client wishes the funds to be remitted, this is when he will present the account information which you must have opened with the bank. I will advise you do everything humanly possible to get the account ready and also ensure that the account is active, because if the account is not active and the transfer is made, the transfer will bounce back giving room for suspicion and i do not want that to happen. as soon as they forward your account information’s you will forward it to me immediately so that i can transmit it to the attorney who will present the account details for further remittance of the funds. Instruct the bank to have your account information set up immediately as it is urgent.

Do have the account set up today and follow my instructions, i do not want your account set up to be a delay to this transaction.

I have attached copies of the legal documents making you the next of kin and sole beneficiary to the funds; please do not show these documents to anyone as is for your view only.

I shall await your acknowledgment of the documents.

Thank you and God bless.

Warmest Regards,

Your Partner/Sister
