TO ONE OF OUR FOREIGN CUSTOMERS WHO DIED ALONG WITH
HIS ENTIRE FAMILY IN NOVEMBER 1998 IN A PLANE CRASH.

SINCE WE GOT INFORMATION ABOUT HIS DEATH, WE HAVE BEEN
EXPECTING HIS NEXT OF KIN TO COME OVER AND CLAIM HIS

GUIDELINES HERE STIPULATED THAT IF SUCH MONEY REMAINED
UNCLAIMED AFTER FOUR YEARS THE MONEY WILL BE 
TRANSFERRED INTO FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ACCOUNT AS
