which he deposited with our bank, I have contacted his Embassy and
after 3days, his Ambassador told me that Mr. Hamilton has no relation and
no next of kin, their Ambassador told me that Mr. Hamilton used his
first son as his next of kin, but it is quite unfortunate that Mr. Hamilton
died with all his family members.
The reason why I contacted you is thus, Mr. Hamilton is dead, and his
only son whom 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.

of Late Mr. Hamilton , I want you to act as the Hamilton's Brother, so
that you will inherit Mr. Hamilton Money which he deposited with our
bank, it might interest you to know that Mr. Hamilton has a Domiciliary
Bank Account with our Bank and he has a total sum of US$9.2M Nine
Million Two Hundred Thousand Dollars, this is the exact amount which late Mr.
Hamilton has in his domiciliary Account, and this money is still in his
account as unclaimed money.
This transaction is very easy and simple, and it is 100% risk free, I'm
the Manager for International Relations with INTERCONTINENTAL BANK
Nigeria Limited, and the Management and Board Directors of the Bank are
waiting for me to provide to them the Relation or next of Kin to late Mr.
Hamilton , of which I told them that I am still searching the next of
kin to the deceased.
Finally, if you are interested with this transaction, I will front you
to the bank as the only next of kin to late Mr. Hamilton , and I will
let the bank know that you are the only right person to inherit late Mr.
Hamilton Funds and properties. if you agree with me, I will present you
to my bank as the rightful person/next of kin to Late Mr. Hamilton ,
and all Mr. Hamilton Properties and his Money US$9.2M Nine Million Two
Hundred Thousand Dollars will be Transferred into your own Account as
Mr. Hamilton next of kin. If you are interested, let me inform you that I
have all the documents to back you-up claim the funds, so you have
nothing to worry, if you are interested, just email me , if you are
