company now expects a next of kin as beneficiary of this money,
and Valuable efforts have being made by TRUST FINANCIAL COMPANY

under the influence of our chairman and members of the board of
directors, have made arrangements for the fund to be declared
"Unclaimed» and subsequently be used to import ammunition's
into our country.

my trusted colleagues and I, now seek your permission to have
you stand as next of kin to late Engr MAHMUD ALI IBRAHIM (snr)
so that the fund US$14,000,000 will be released and
transferred into your account as the beneficiary.

carefully worked out. We have secured from the probate an order
of mandamus to locate any of the deceased beneficiaries, and
