orum@caramail.comDear Smit,
I am Mr.More Orum of fortune international bank PLC , the personal account manager of Mr.Jim Smit a nationale of your country, who used to work with shell development company here in Nigeria. On the 16th October 2003,our customer, his wife And their two children were involved in a car accident along Lagos-Abeokuta express road. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives. Since then several enquiries have been made to locate any of his extended relatives this has also proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track his name, which is the same with yours, to locate any member of his family, or relative hence I contacted you. I am contacting you to assist in repatriating the money he left behind in our bank before they got confiscated or
declared irretrievable by our bank due to lack of servicing of the account, bear in mind, that it does not matter if you know the actual person or not but as far as you have the same name with him there is no barrier in transferring the money to you, he deposited the sum of US$15.2 million dollars in our bank the FORTUNE INTERNATIONAL BANK PLC and the banking guidelines of FORTUNE INTERNATIONAL BANK PLC AND THE GOVERNMENT OF NIGERIA FEDERATION stipulates that if an account remained unserviceable for over a period of 2 years and some months, such money will be confiscated and this will happen in the next few days, if nobody comes for the money Since we have not seen any body for the money for the last two years and our bank has been notifying the notary public about this money in the past one year, now I seek your consent to present yourself as the next of kin of the deceased since you have the same name with him so that the proceeds of this account valued at US$15.2 million dollars can be paid to you and then we can discuss on
what we are going to use the money for.Furthermore, I have used my position as the account manager of the deceased to hold this money up to this moment telling our organization and the federation that the deceased next of kin has inquired for the money and will apply for it any moment from now. that is the reason the money has remained up to this moment without confiscation and it has but one week for the confiscation to take effect if nobody applies for it.
Iguarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that will protect
you from any breach of the law.

More Orum
