From: "Mr.John David" <[email protected]>Hello,

Subject: Important Message
I hope with this explanation you will understand better my purpose of
contacting you. Please read carefully.
In June 2015, one of our foreign customers made a Fixed deposit for 36
calendar months, valued at US$35,500,000.00 in our bank where l am
head of accounts department.
Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address
but got no reply. After waiting several months, we sent a reminder and
finally discovered from his contract employers that he and his family
died in a plane crash.
On further investigation, I found out that he died without leaving a
WILL and all attempts to trace extended members of his family were
never successful. I therefore made further investigation and
discovered that he did not declare any next of kin or relation in all
his official documents in his Bank Deposit paperwork at my Bank.
His money (US$35,000,000.00 ) has been floating as unclaimed since
maturity and all efforts to get his relatives have proved
unsuccessful. According to our banking policy, if such money continues
to remain unclaimed, the money will be passed to the coffers of the
Central bank treasury unclaimed bill.
It’s been many years now and nobody has shown up for the money. My
proposal to you is that l want you to cooperate with me to enable us
to claim the money so we can both use it for investment . I will put
all the necessary documents together to make you the next of kin so
that the money will be paid to you. I have secured from the probate
court an order of mandamus to locate any family member of the deceased
so that the money can be paid to him or her, but still no success.
If you agree to cooperate with me, after successful execution of this
deal, we shall share the money in percentage of 40/60. This means 40%
for you and 60% for me. I assure you that this deal is 100% risk free,
you don’t have to fear anything as l am a professional in Real Estate
Banking / Family Wealth
If you are interested in engaging in this deal, please respond in the
earliest upon reception of this message so I can confidently explain
to you more
Thank you
Mr. John David .
