Hello, I trust that the mail meets you in the very best of health. I am Dr. Bernard Crowley, client service manager of a branch bank here where late Dr. Danni was a renowned customer. He died a few years ago leaving behind a large sum of money in the commercial bank here. I will not mention the amount of money which runs into several millions in United States Dollars and the name of bank or country presently until we have reached an accord. I trust you will understand the need for such precautions.
So far, valuable efforts have been made to get to his people but to no avail, as he had no known relatives. He left his next of kin column in his account opening forms blank. Due to this development, the bank has been expecting someone to come forward as a close relative to claim the funds. Otherwise as the national laws would have it, any dormant account for five years will be declared unclaimed and then paid into the government purse.
To avert this negative development, my colleagues and I decided to look for a reputable person to act as his next of kin. I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 3 years now. Thus, I seek your consent to present you as the next of Kin to the deceased since you have the same last names, so that the proceeds of this deposit would be sent to your provided account. We shall make arrangements with a qualified and a reliable attorney to represent you locally to avoid any inconvenience of you coming down to file such funds claim.
All legal documents to aid your claim for this fund and to prove your relationship with the deceased will be provided by us. Your help will be appreciated with 30% of the total sum which I would disclose in my next email.
Please accept my apologies and keep my confidence and disregard this letter if you do not appreciate this proposition I have offered you. However, should you be interested, you may contact me directly for more information.
I wait anxiously for your response.
Regards,
Dr. Bernard Crowley.
