Subject: NEXT OF KIN
I am aware that this letter had come to you as a surprise as we had
not met before or handled any business deal in the past. Nevertheless,
I have contacted you with genuine intentions, and I hope I can trust
you with this Inheritance opportunity which I explain below.
My name is Mr. MR Classin Joe, an account manager with TD Canada Trust
Bank, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I retrieved your contact address in my
search for the next of kin to a deceased customer of our bank MR.
HENRY CRAIS, a citizen of your country, lived and died in Toronto from
Cardiac Arrest in 2012. Unfortunately, this customer died intestate,
leaving his bank account with an open beneficiary status. All efforts
made by our bank to locate his relatives have been unsuccessful, so I
decided to write to you as I have monitored this account in the bank
for almost ten years now and no one has come forth with any claim. I
want to present you to our bank as his next of kin to claim this
dormant account worth USD 10.764 Million (Ten Million Seven Hundred
Sixty Four Thousand US Dollars).
You will apply to the bank as an extended relative to the deceased
customer while I work from the inside to ensure all needed information
and evidence is provided to you to back up your claim. The account has
an open beneficiary status, which is why I have contacted you to come
forth and claim the funds as the next of kin and beneficiary. Since he
is from your country, it is easy for you to become his official next
of kin. If we do not claim the funds now, the funds would be reverted
to the system as the unclaimed estate at the expiration of a 10-year
dormancy period.
I assure you that this transaction will be handled under due
inheritance procedures, and every necessary legitimate arrangement
will be put in place to make you the real beneficiary of the
inheritance funds. It also requires all confidentiality at this stage,
and I believe you are ready to keep this discreet until you can claim
the funds from the bank. Once the funds are released to you, they will
be shared between the two of us.
Please send your response to my
email: [email protected] indicating readiness to proceed with
this transaction. Then I will give you more details, and we shall have
an in-depth discussion regarding the successful completion of this
transaction.
I await your response.
Sincerely
[email protected]
