The reason why I contacted you is, Mr. Hamilton is dead, and his only son
who supposed to inherit his properties and money also died with him. As at
this moment, nobody or person[s] is coming to claim this money from 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.
In the Light of the above, I want you to stand as the Relation/relative of
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 my bank as unclaimed
money.

the Management and Board Directors of the Bank are waiting for me to provide
any Relation or next of Kin to late Mr. Hamilton Creek, of which I told
