Hello Friend
My, name is Mr. Michael Lewis. I work with an off shore branch of one
of the leading Banks In the UK, I would need your consent to present
you as the next of kin to our late customer who died of heart attack
in 2009. He was a wealthy business man who deposited a huge amount in
our Bank. He died without any registered next of kin as he was long
divorced and had no child.
I was his account officer and have in my possession all the documents
required to present you as his beneficiary next of kin. I contacted
you because you have same name identity with our late client and can
perfectly fit in as next of kin, We can work together to claim this
fund. Please listen, this is real and goes on in Banks all over the
world without people knowing. Let us utilize this opportunity because
it does not come always. A lot of customers open private accounts with
different Banks without the knowledge of their families and at their
demise or in an event of death or accident such money will be lost to
the Bank unless someone makes a claim of it. This is how a lot of Bank
Directors make so much money silently.
On your confirmation of this message and indicating your interest, I
will furnish you with more details. Please endeavor to provide me with
the following so that we can discuss in details
(1) mobile phone numbers
(2) full name
(3) contact address and occupation I urgently hope to get your
response as soon as possible.
Yours Sincerely,
Mr. Michael Lewis
