Dear Barry,
Please kindly accept my sincere apologies if my mail does not meet
your
personal ethics.
I will like to do a very brief business with you, there is an
unclaimed
inheritance in my bank that belonged to a customer, with credit
balance
of (us$11.7m) which has been dormant for many years now,on my further
investigation i discovered that the owner of this account is a
foreigner
but died nine ago, before his death, he had a fund deposit in my
bank,
this fund was meant for an urgent cash investment; hence it was kept
in
our vault.
In view of the necessity to implement the banking regulations on the
inheritance claim, as the deceased has no trustee or next of kin to
his
deposit, I independently decided to contact you in strict confidence
as
you have the same family name with him.
what i need from you is to use your name as the beneficiary and next
of
kin to the original account owner, then i will use my position in my
department to give clearance and onward remission of the fund into
your
bank account.
I contacted you because you are a foreigner and shared same last
name
with the late account owner, i need your assistance and co-operation
to
this reality as i have done my home-work on the best way to create
you
as the next of kin to the original account holder, this transaction
is
100% risk free since I am still working with the bank.
Please send me email with your contact details if you are interested
and
willing to work with me. As soon as I get your response, I’ll give
you
details of this transaction.
Thanks as I look forward to hear from you as soon as possible.
Regards,
Mr. Oderah C Adams.
Abuja, Nigeria.
