confidential transaction with me to transfer the sum of nineteen million,
three hundred thousand United States dollars ($19,300,000.00 U.S DOLLARS)

our bank since the real owner died.
The money belongs to our customers who died few years ago with all his

wife whereas they endorsed their children to be their successor in case of
any problem occurred to them but unfortunately sudden death took away all
his children, and i requested your assistance to apply to our bank as the
NEXT OF KIN to the foreign deceased customer of our bank and since our bank
got information about his death the bank have been expecting his next of kin
to come over and claim his money but no body have show up as his next of kin
for the claim because the account is untraceable and the bank cannot release
it unless somebody applies for it as the next of kin or relation to the
deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines.
For the success of this transaction I will like you to apply to bank and act
as the only existing NEXT OF KIN to the deceased which our bank will replace
the deceased account information through proper documentation in position of
