Dear Sir/Maddam,I'am in charge of International remittance at Habib Bank Nigeria Limited.There is a dormant account in my bank and the owner of the account is deceased and I am the account officer to the account of the deceased.There is a credit balance of ($21 million dollars) which has been dormant for five years now and after further investigation,I discovered that the account and the money belong to a deaceased foreign contractor. What I need from you is to use your name as next of kin and make you the rightful beneficiary so that I will use my position to move the money out of Nigeria. Indicate your interest immediately so that I will give you all the detailed information on this issue.Kindest Regards Mr. Micheal Hengz.
