Dear Friend,
I am sure that this email will come to you as a big supprise. I am Mr. Martin Jones working with the African Development Bank;Accounting unit/Telex Department. I want to introduce you to a business that will be beneficial to both of us.
I need your consent to handle this transaction because it entails large amount of funds($6.5 Million Dollars) deposited by a deceased customer in our bank who died long time ago but has an open beneficiary mandate on his file though,there has not been anyone from his family to make
claim of this funds but i am sure he has no immediate family because i have tried all i could to contact them but to no avail.
I will need your immediate response and i will relate the full details to you.
Thanks,
Martin Jones
