Subject: Just For Your Consideration



My name is Mr. Mark Minta a banker with PNC Bank New York, I hereby
solicit for your urgent reply to assist me in claiming a deceased
customer’s funds as the next of kin since you bear the same surname
(last name) with the deceased, though I was the account officer to the
deceased before he died.

Meanwhile, the funds involved is USD$18.4 million, the deceased person
contracted corona virus in December 2019 while in China with the family
on vacation died after a month and three weeks later the entire family
passed away, leaving behind no one to stand as next of kin, since then I
have made all efforts to locate any family member but to no avail.

After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to contact you
since you bear the same surname. I have some related documents in my
possession as the account officer to back up your claim as the next of
kin.

Please I await your careful response to enable me detail you the way
forward. Again, I want you to be discreet about this for the safety of
my good office/position.

Regards,

Mr. Mark Minta
