Subject: URGENT ATTENTION!
My dear friend,
Good day.
Please, I want to introduce myself and this business opportunity to you.My
name is James White,an attorney.
I wish to know if we can work together.I would like you to stand as the next
of kin to my deceased client who made some deposit of the sum of $12.5M in
one security house in Spain.He died without any registered next of kin and
as such the funds now have an open beneficiary mandate.Moreover it appears
you are related to him by the virtue of your names.
If you are interested you do let me know so that I can give you
comprehensive details on what we are to do.
I urgently hope to get your response as soon as possible.
Best regards,
James White.
