Subject: BE THE NEXT OF KIN!!!
Dear Sir,My name is Mr Joseph Hunter & I am a banker in Australia. There is $11.5M in an account belonging to a customer of ours who is dead now. I & my colleuges agreed & moved it to a security company in Eupore, We want you to act as the next of kin to the deposit and after securing the fund, we shall share it at the ratio of 70-30 percent for us for investment purpose. Get back to me as soon as possible so that I can give you the details of the company, deposit certificate receipt, issued to us at the first day of the deposit. I look forward to your prompt and urgent reply. Best regards, Hunter Joseph.
