Subject: FROM MR. IDRIS UMAR !
Dear , By way of introduction i am Mr.Idris Umar working in the credit and accounts department Union Bank Plc. I write you in respect of a foreign customer with Domiciliary A/C number 6402356789 His name is Engineer Joseph Schultzman. He was among those who died in a Russia airbus A-310 plane which crashed in the siberian city of Irkutsk and for your perusal the sad incident happened on Monday July' 10th 2006. You may recall as at the time the crash 124 people lost their life’s while four other reported missing. Since the demise of this our customer, Engineer Joseph Schultzman, who was an oil merchant/contractor here. I have kept a close watch of the deposit records and accounts and since then no body has come to claim the said money in this a/c as next of kin to the late Engineer. He had only $38.5 million in his a/c and the a/c is coded. It is only an insider that could produce the code or password of the deposit particulars. As it stands now, there is nobody in that position to produce the needed information other than my very self considering my position in the bank. For the fact that nobody has come forward to claim the deposit as next of kin, I hereby ask for your co- operation in using your name as the next of kin to the deceased to send these funds out to an offshore bank a/c for mutual sharing between myself and you. At this point I am the only one with the information because I have removed the deposit file from the safe. What is required of you is to send an application laying claims of the deposit as next of kin to the late Engineer. I will need your full name and address, company or residential, so that i can computerize them to tally match with next of kin column also to reflect in the certificate of deposit. When you contact me then we shall discuss on how the money will be split between us. Finally for more detailed news about the said crash kindly visit this attached website: http://www.boston.com/news/world/europe/articles/2006/07/10/russia_mourns_victims_of_siberia_crash/?rss_id=Boston.com+%2F+News Trusting to hear from you. I remain Respectfully. Yours, Mr. Idris Umar.
