*Date:* 5th January, 2020.

Happy New Year!

My name is *Andrew Hedger*, from *Grant Thornton UK LLP*. I'm writing in
regards to your *late rich relative*. I have a *genuine transaction* only
if you are *interested* to *execute* this with me. I'm an *External
Auditor* for
a *Bank* in *London UK* and there has been an *account *which has been
*dormant* for over period of *10 years* worth's about *Thirty* *Million
United States Dollars—($30,000,000.00). * After proper investigation
over the *account*, I *discovered* that the *owner* of the *account* is
*deceased *and no one has come for funds claim as* next of kin*. I only
contacted *you* because you bear the *same last name* as the *deceased
according to Ancestry.*
After going through the deceased person's records and files, I discovered
that:

*(1) No one has operated this account since 10 years now.*
*(2) He died without an heir; hence the money has been floating.*
*(3) No other person knows about this account apart from the attorney and
there was no known beneficiary. That is why every process has to go through
the attorney.*

I wish to use my *power *and present you as the *next of kin* to this
said account so that we both can handle the* transfer transaction* and
share the funds at ratio of *50%* goes to me while *50%* goes to you.

Be *rest assured* that this *transaction *will be handled over *supervision*
and *protocols* of all *legal steps* and no* illegal implications* will be
involved.

If you can *handle* this transaction with *trust*, kindly revert to me by
introducing your self so that we can proceed in good faith.

Best Regards.

*Andrew,*
*Auditor, Grant Thornton UK LLP.*
*London UK.*
