Subject: PLEASE GET BACK TO ME
Dear friend,
I am Robert Nelly, Barrister at law. I write you on behalf Ms Vivian
Douglas, a staff of bills and exchange at the foreign remittance
Department of Midland Bank London. In the above department, an abandoned
sum of (US$8.5M) Eight Million, Five hundred, thousand United States
Dollars only was discovered in an account that belongs to one Mr. Kenneth
Compos who died along with his entire family in 26 December 2003 in a
plane crash during their Christmas holiday. Click bellow to view the plane

Since the bank got information about his death, the bank has been
expecting his Next of Kin to come over for the claims because the bank
cannot release the fund unless somebody applies as a Next of Kin or
relation to the deceased as indicated in the bank’s lay down policy.
This is therefore to inform you that he did not mention any Next of Kin or
beneficiary to his account before his sudden death. It is upon this
discovery that my client (Ms Vivian Douglas) directed me to contact you,
and to assure you that with her support as insider in the bank, it will
make the claim of the money easy in your favor as the Next of Kin. Please
note that our main reason for contacting you is that we need your urgent
assistance to claim this fund from the bank and to avoid it being
confiscated or declared as unserviceable account. The banking rules and
regulations stipulate that if such money remained unclaimed after three
(3) years the money will be transferred into the government account as
unclaimed fund.
Furthermore, we shall negotiate on the percentage split for the funds as
we proceed. Therefore, to enhance immediate release of the inheritance to
you as arranged, you should contact my client (Vivian Douglas) immediately
via email: viviandouglas@midlandbankuk.org for further directives on how to
go about actualizing the claim in your name.
I look forward to your immediate response.
Best regards
Robert Nelly Esq.
