has no relation and no next of kin, their Ambassador told me that Mr.
Hamilton used his first son as his next of kin, but it is quite unfortunate
that Mr. Hamilton Creek died with all his family members.
The reason why I contacted you is thus, Mr. Hamilton is dead, and his only
son whom supposed to inherit his properties and money also died with him.

our bank. The board directors and management of our bank has
told me that if nobody or person[s] apply for the claim of Mr. Hamilton
Fund, the bank will return Mr. Hamilton's Fund into our Federal Reserve.

Late Mr. Hamilton Creek, I want you to act as the Hamilton's relative, so
that you will inherit Mr. Hamilton Creek Money which he deposited with our
bank, it might interest you to know that Mr. Hamilton made a special
deposit with our Bank and he has a total sum of US$9.2M Nine Million Two
Hundred Thousand Dollars and this money is still in with this bank as
unclaimed money.
This transaction is very easy and simple, and it is 100% risk free, I'm the
Manager for International Relations with Amalgamated Bank of South Africa
(ABSA), and the Management and Board Directors of the Bank are waiting for
me to provide to them the Relation or next of Kin to late Mr. Hamilton
Creek, of which I told them that I am still searching the next of kin to
the deceased.
Finally, if you are interested with this transaction, I will front you to
the bank as the only next of kin to late Mr. Hamilton Creek, and I will let
the bank know that you are the only right person to inherit
late Mr. Hamilton Funds. If you agree with me, I will present you to my
bank as the rightful person/next of kin to Late Mr. Hamilton Creek and the
deposit made by the late Hamilton Creek will be released to you as his next
of kin. So reply me immediately and let me know if you are
interested by forwarding to me the followings:
1)Your full names and address.

3)Your age.
4)Your occupation.
Please feel free to ask any questions. We will share Late Mr. Hamilton Creek
Funds 50-50; you will take 50% of the US$9.2M. Which is US$4.600,000.00
Four Million Six Hundred Thousand Dollars, while the Balance of the same
