Re: Next of Kin/Beneficiary for Dollar $10 Millions
I have the honor and confidence to introduce this business to you in
view of the fact my inquires reveals that you are trustworthy and
reliable person.
My name is Luther Anthony, a staff of one of the renowned banks here in
the United Kingdom. Quite frankly,there is an account that was created
in our branch long time ago but have until now not been operational
since 2004,because the owners were involved in the Tsunami disaster
five year.
After a private and intensive investigation, I discovered that the
owner of this account (MR. MIKE & CAROL Hall) a very Wealthy Couple
who operated this account once lived here in the United Kingdom lost
their lives in an untimely death as a result of the disaster, but to
my greatest astonishment, there was no will nor next of kin to the
account.

Since there has been no one to claim the funds in that account,the
bank management is willing to welcome any foreigner who has correct
information to this Account which I will give upon receipt of your
positive response towards my proposal.
I assure you a 100% that there is no risk to this business. The
sharing of this funds shall be done in no particular manner because we
will wait for you to suggest what percentage you are willing to have
in helping us transfer the funds out of the account here in the United
Kingdom to your local account outside the country.
As soon as I hear from you I will put up an annual leave so I could be
able to facilitate the transfer of this fund to any Account of your
choice.
Should you be interested else ignore this message!
Please I want this deal to be very secret and should not
be disclose to anyone,
Thanks,
Luther Anthony.
