Dear Sir/Madam,

I am Eric Smith and work with Smith and Associates Real Estate, Tampa
Florida. We have a deceased client who died and left a huge estate, he
bears the same surname with you.

Since his death I have received several letters from the Bank where he
deposited the fund before his death, to provide his next of kin or any of
his relatives who can make claim to the funds before the end of the year or
the Bank will be left with no option than to confiscate the fund and turn
the money back to the state as it has been marked unclaimed. I have
conducted my personal search to see if I can make contact with any of his
relatives but without success, it is in the course of my effort that I have
to contact you.

I have closely checked and since you bear the same surname with my deceased
client it will be better to present you as the next of kin and the right
beneficiary of the funds in the account. I will provide you with all the
necessary legal backing that is required until this money is paid out to
you, and then we shall share it based on our agreement.

Do respond quick if you are interested or should you need further
clarification because we have no much time left.

Eric Smith
