Subject: Greetings Dear Friend

Greetings Dear Friend,

I know my letter will come to you as a surprise because we don’t know each other before. I am JEFFEREY GONZALEZ., I am the Administrative manager at a Vault of a Financial & Security Institute here in Madrid.

I am contacting you based on a financial opportunity I discovered here in our bank. Its about an abandoned sum of $34.7M US DOLLARS (Thirty four million seven hundred thousand united state dollars) in our safety deposit vault, that belongs to one of our foreign customer, a citizen of your country who died along with his entire family on 11th March 2008 in a ghastly car accident in Porto Portugal.

The banking policy can only allow the release of such funds to a benefactor through an application as next of kin to the deceased. After his death, the bank has been expecting a possible beneficiary, but no luck, this institute has exploited all its ethical possibilities in other to contact his possible relation or inheritor, but no success. Since no one has come up since almost nine years, I have made my own research with the help of a private investigator, it is my knowledge that this man has been leaving in Barcelona for the past 22 years and has never returned back home. I also learnt that his wife and 3 year old daughter died with him during this accident. I’m almost 110% sure that no one is aware of the existence of these funds.

However, because of the international financial crises, a lot of reform has been made within the Spanish Financial system; this includes the new law on succession/claims which indicates a duration in which such inheritance could be tolerated. The Bank of Spain has mandated our institute to release the funds to the possible inheritor, Failure to respond to this ultimatum would legally allow the Bank of Spain confiscate these funds as unclaimed estate (Which of course would go straight to the Government´s pocket)

It is therefore upon this entire discovery that I have decided to contact you. I want you to know that I am a senior member of this office. As an insider, i am equipped with all classified secret information regarding the release of these funds. I would be dedicated to making sure that I feed you with all possible documentation and information required for the approval and release of these funds.

Upon your acceptance to cooperate, I agree that 40% of this money will be for you, 50% for me and 10% goes for the reimbursement of any expenses that we might both incur during the short period of the funds transaction. Please note that I have ONLY discussed this issue with you alone. Immediately you acknowledge the receipt of this mail, we shall further proceed and you shall be informed on the next step to urge ahead.

In conclusion, it’s my concern to demand your ultimate honesty, co-operation and confidentiality to enable us conclude this transaction. I GUARANTEE that this process would be executed under a legitimate arrangement that would legally protect you from any breach of law.
