Dear Friend,
My name is H.E. EASA SALEH AL GURG CBE, a Director with Emirates Islamic Bank and please pardon the abruptness of this letter; it is due to its urgency. I do hope we shall have the opportunity to be better formally introduced in this transaction. I got your data's from an International People Search Bulletin.
We had an esteemed deceased foreign customer who happened to be a citizen of your country, who lost his life on the 2nd of July, 2002. In a plane crash involving a Russian Jetliner and a Cargo Plane over southern Germany, unfortunately his wife and children also died in the plane crash.
You may wish to read more about the incident on the following websites:

The deceased had a deposit of ?36M (Thirty Six Million GBP) with our bank before he died; and since then, we in the Bank have been expecting his/her next of kin/relative(s) for the inheritance of the deposit and claiming of said funds but none has surfaced.
The policy of the Bank however stipulates a limited time of period for such inheritance to be made or the fund will be written off going by the record of the incident, the time limit for the claim is closing up. In this consideration, I am contacting you to seek for your kind understanding and sincere co-operation to claim this inheritance for our mutual benefit in view of the fact that I am an insider in the bank.
If you can stand as the next of kin in this project, success is assured because I am in possession of the personal file diskette of the deceased which contains every needed information about the account and the deceased; as I am assuring you that you stand no risk of any kind because I have enough information to support you in claiming the inheritance.
The proceedings of the transaction will be shared 50% each after every expenses are reimbursed. Please kindly indicate your willingness through the alternative email address provided below and we shall proceed with the initial step for the claim. The entire project is expected to last for about ten working days.
On your response, I require you to furnish me with your data's as stated below, to enable me proceed immediately with the processing of this claim in your favour.
