Subject: Hello
Hello,
I am a private financial consultant manager and happen to have managed a particular account for a Resident Foreigner.
In discharge of my duty, I stumbled on this domiciliary account that has remained dormant for three years now with US$5M
The bank informed me that in his account file, he did not declare any next of kin or relations in all his official documents in the bank but directed all indications to me and hence I am the only person who can bring forth.
I am writing you so that we can work together to remit the money to you as the next of kin because this money belong to a foreigner and has to be claimed by a foreigner. I guarantee this transaction under a legitimate arrangement that will not breach
the law by both parties; it’s a simple process which will take
a short while
Upon receipt of your response l will send to you my private number for further Discussion regarding this project.
Best Regards,
E R
