Hello ,
It is a pleasure meeting you at last for I have waited for this golden moment.I am Mark Pedro manager in one of the prime bank in London.
Six months ago ,my late customer died in a fatal accident and was buried at the state cemetry.My late customer (Mr John Hughes)
has an account with a credit balance of Fifteen million Pounds which has been dormant for a very long time.
All efforts to contact the named beneficiary to late Mr John Hughes estate,with the supplied information proved futile
.My good friend ,am contacting you because i want you to claim this money with me. i have the necessary information and documents that would enable us this
claim.Please kindly send me your urgent reply to enable me know which other step to take towards the claim of this money.
Regards,
Mark Pedro
