In 1980, a foreign investor sort for approval to explore mineral resources in my country. My government subsequently granted him approval, issued with a license for a period of 20 years, which could be renewed on expiration. He later leased the license to our firm {PACIFIC MINERAL DEV. CORPORATION, MAURITIUS} on which there was a standing order issued to us to pay direct to his account with a bank, the sum six hundred thousand dollars {US$600,000.00} yearly as contained in the agreement.Our government has since revoked his license as result of his inability to renew it. My firm made several attempts to reach him for the purposes of this renewal or transfer of right to us, but all our efforts to trace him proved abortive.We later discovered that the man died in testate and without leaving a relation behind. My firm has paid to his bank account a total sum of twelve million dollars {US$12,000,000.00} since 1982. I have had discussions with the bank to refund this money but was told that it can only be paid to any of his relatives put forward by our firm.Since you have the same last name with the late investor, I solicit for your assistance to enable my firm make you as his next of kin. We shall file all the relevant documents necessary for this transaction and the bank would effect payment in your favor.You are free to negotiate your mode of compensation. You would also be required to send us your full names and present country of residence to enable us file for payment in your favor. Subsequently, we also intend to introduce you to the Ministry of Mineral Resources to enable us have the license renewed.We count on your total co-operation in this regard.Sincerely,Engr. Tobi Karman,Pacific Mineral Dev. Corporation,Mauritius.
