DEAR FRIEND,

Permit me to introduce myself, my name is Mr.William Eze I work
with Union Bank of Nigeria Limited as(Assistant Auditor),in the discharge
of my duty,I stumbled on this domiciliary account that has remained dormant
for three years now with Ten million dollars(US$10m) in it. I contacted
my director and we sent out staff for enquiries and discovered that the
account holder died in an accident.
I am writing you so that we can work together to remit the
money to you as the next of kin because this money belongs to a
foreigner and has to be claimed by a foreigner.
I guarantee this transaction under a legitimate arrangements that will not
breach the law by both parties, it is simple process which will take a short
while to process.If I hear from you,I will tell you all you need to Know
about the money.
N.B Please reply to my personal email address:billccu2003@yahoo.com
Best Regards,
Mr.William Eze
WITH LOVE
