DEAR SIR/MADAM

DEPARTMENT. IN THE DISCHARGE OF MY DUTY, I STUMBLED ON
THIS DOMICILIARY ACCOUNT THAT HAS REMAINED DORMANT FOR
SIX MONTHS NOW WITH THIRTY FIVE MILLION, FIVE HUNDRED
THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS ($35.5M) IN IT.
ON PERSONAL INVESTIGATION, I DISCOVERED THAT THE
ACCOUNT HOLDER DIED IN AUTO CRASH ACCIDENT WITH THE
MEMBERS OF HIS FAMILY WHO SHOULD BE THE NEXT OF KIN TO
THE AMOUNT, ALL I NEED YOU TO DO IS TO STAND AS THE
NEXT OF KIN TO OUR LATE CUSTOMER SO THAT THESE FUNDS
CAN BE TRANSFERRED INTO YOUR NOMINATED
BANK ACCOUNT.
ON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, I FOUND OUT THAT: -
A) HE HAS NO OTHER LIVING DECLARED RELATIVE
B) HE HAD DIED INTERSTATE (WITHOUT MAKING A WILL)
C) HE WAS INTO REAL ESTATE VENTURE (REALTOR)
ACCORDINGLY, ALL ATTEMPTS TO TRACE A NEXT OF KIN HAVE
BEEN FRUITLESS. I AM WRITING YOU SO THAT WE CAN WORK
TOGETHER TO REMIT THIS AMOUNT OF MONEY INTO YOUR
ACCOUNT AS THE NEXT OF KIN HENCE THE DEPOSITOR
HAPPENED TO BE A FOREIGNER. ALL DOCUMENTS AND PROVES
TO ENABLE YOU GET THIS FUND WILL BE CAREFULLY WORKED
OUT FROM MY TABLE AND I WILL PERFECT EVERY DOCUMENTS
TO BE IN ACCORDANCE TO THE BANKING LAWS AND GUILD
LINES HENCE YOU
HAVE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT FOR I AM ASSURING YOU A
100% RISK FREE TRANSACTION.
IT IS SIMPLE PROCESS, WHICH WILL TAKE A SHORT WHILE TO
PROCESS. OUTSIDE THIS, THE BANK MANAGEMENT WILL
CONFISCATE THIS AMOUNT OF MONEY AS UNCLEARED EFFECTS
AND SEND BACK TO THE DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION
ACCOUNT.

KNOW ABOUT THE MONEY AND THE OPERATIONAL METHOD WE CAN
USE TO AFFECT THE REMITTANCE INTO YOUR ACCOUNT FOR OUR
MUTUAL BENEFIT. ALSO INCLUDE YOUR FULL NAME,ADDRESS
