Dear Friend
Permit me to introduce myself, my name is Mr. Jones Jones, I work with
Ceantel Trust Finance & Security, Lagos as a Credit Officer (Domiciliary).
In the discharge of my Duty, I came across a Domiciliary account that has
remained dormant for Some years now with our bank valued US$15,600.000.00
(Fifteen Million, Six Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) I made some
inquiries and discovered that the account holder died when a Kenyan Airways
crashed along the coast of West Africa in July 2003.Please I want you to
visit the website for more information about the Plane Crash and the
Deceased Dr George Brumley and his family:

I am writing you so that we can work together to remit the money to you As
the next of kin because this money belongs to a foreigner and has to Be
claimed by a foreigner. I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the
money left behind by our deceased customer before the Bank declares this
deposit un-serviceable. The Bank has issued me a notice as the Account
officer to the deceased to provide the Next of Kin or have the fund declared
as an UNCLAIMED FUND within the Next 15 Official working days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 4years now
that I have been searching. I seek your consent to present you as The Next
of Kin to the deceased since you are a foreigner like him so that the
proceeds of this Bank Account can be paid out in your favor for our mutual
benefits.
I guarantee this transaction under a legitimate arrangement that will not
breach the law by both parties; it is a simple process, which will take a
short while to conclude. I have all the necessary Legal documents that will
be used to back up any claim we are going to make. All I require is your
honest cooperation to enable us see this deal through. Please acknowledge
receipt of this message in acceptance of our mutual business endeavor by
furnishing me with the following;

These requirements will enable us file a letter of claim to The Appropriate
departments for necessary approvals in your favor before the Transfer can be
made. You will be compensated with 40% of the total fund on Final conclusion
of this project, while the rest shall be for me and my colleague in the
bank. Your Share stays with you while the rest shall be for us for
investment Purposes in your country. You can reach me via email;
