Subject: Am still waiting to hear from you,

After his died in 2013, I discovered that he has no written will and no relatives is reachable or can be traced after all legal findings since he spent all his life here in my country doing contract works after his father and mother who was a farm passed away.
My client and his family were involved in an accident on a vacation, All occupants of the Boat unfortunately lost their lives that includes his wife and their only Daughter, Since then I have made several inquiries from here to locate any extended relatives, which has proved unsuccessful, the bank has mandate me to present a beneficiary to his investment estate from before his death or funds will be confiscated, after these several unsuccessful attempts I made a search with his last name and came across your email hence I contacted you. There are claim Documents to enable you claim legitimately.
