We are a limited liability partnership registered with the CMS Cameron McKenna LLP in England and Wales and MUST carry out our duties as directed by my Late client { Engr.David Rollins }. I know you will like to know why he choose you but these are answers I cannot help you with and can imagine that Late Engr. David Rollins must have known that you will put the money to good use for the less privileged of which he was aware that you can achieve, that is why he had picked on you.

Also, understand that I don't know you neither have I met you before, but my contacting you is based on the recommendation of Late Engr.David Rollins.

Find in attachment an AFFIDAVIT FORM IN SUPPORT OF APPLICATION, you are advised to  fill out the form and return back to us within the next 24hrs, before a Certificate of Deposit issued by the Security Deposit Bank to Late Engr.David Rollins where the funds were deposited by him will then be forwarded to you.

Be further informed that these funds will  be released to charity organization as unclaimed if you don't return the AFFIDAVIT FORM IN SUPPORT OF APPLICATION soonest as this will serve as proper identification.
