My mother was half south-African and worked with the an NGO and moved around a lot during her last few years before she died last year in a car accident. A few months later, I received a letter in my mother’s mailbox from a bank stating that my mother had some deposit with them in form of treasury bills which had matured and she was expected to retrieve. I’m South African by birth though my father is from the Netherlands (as far as I know), but have been living in the Netherlands for most of my life. I know very little about financial matters and have been trying to retrieve the money, which amounts to about USD11,500,000.00 up till now. But it seems, the bank’s procedures and protocol get more complex with each step, initially, I had to prove that my mother was deceased, which I did with presentation of her certificate of death and liaising with the red cross society who picked her remains up at the site of the accident, next, I had to prove lineage, then my age, now I have been required to provide a recipient account information and when I indicated I do not have one, I was told to provide a next of kin to receive on my behalf. Now, I am confused and nearly tired, the only person whom I spoke with about this matter, whom I felt I could trust, demanded to receive 50% of the money. I feel that is greedy on his part, though I could have parted with it, but his countenance scared me. I have a promise from one of the bank’s accountants, that if I provide a next of kin to receive for me, he can subsequently ensure that I don’t get any more delays and he can then help me secure a fixed deposit for the money, until I am in a better position to manage and use it wisely. I am asking for your advise and help to retrieve this sum, if you can help for a reasonable percentage, please reply and I will give you more details and the bank's contact information so as to retrieve this money. I am ready and willing to part with an agreed percentage of this amount for your compensation. If you can help, please respond to my home email address: genecole@yahoo.com or call me + 31-623-304-792 Thank you. Gene Cole
