Subject: Attn;Beneficiary,
Attn;Beneficiary, I am sorry for intruding into your privacy. My name is Mr Michael DavidEsq,the legal adviser to Mr Brimhall who made a deposit of $9.522USD in the bank. Mr Brimhall until his death was a foreign contractor. Three years after the deposition of the money ,Mr Brimhall died in an air crash in the company of his entire family members. Consequently, I decided to contact you so that you will stand as the beneficiary to claim the sum of Nine million five hundred twenty two thousand United States Dollars ($9.522 USD) deposited in bank by my late client. My family had made every effort since his death to claim the funds but all to no avail because they request a foreign beneficiary to claim the money. we are willing to share the money 60%/ 40% with you. Please reply me back, I shall give you the whole details. Do consider this and get back to me.Thanks for your co-operation.Mr Michael David Esq
