Dear Sir,
I am Mr Charlton, a senior staff of a reputable bank in the United Kingdom.
I am fortunate to have discovered an
abandoned (dormant ) Account belonging to a deceased(late)
customer by name Mr Anatoliy Nikolaevich Ivanov , who died in a plane crash
years ago.
The sum in this abandoned Account is about US$21.7 Million (Twenty one
million seven hundred thousand United States Dollars ). And I have
thoroughly conducted serious investigations and inquiry which enabled us to
know that this deceased (late)customer (Mr Anatoliy Nikolaevich Ivanov) had
no relative at all and there is nobody to forward any claims over this money
in his account in our bank . Therefore , I and my colleague have decided to
claim this money with you since the deceased customer has no relatives .
Please ,I need you to act as the "NEXT OF KIN" (relative) for us to claim
this his money in our bank . I will use my influence as a senior staff of
this bank to protect your integrity and safety.Your share in this business
deal 30% of the total sum in this account . 5% is for other expenses that
might be incurred in this business and 65% will be for me and colleague
here.
The whole sum shall be transfered into your nominated bank account and you
will serve as the custodian for this money before our coming for
disbursement.
I look forward to your fast and favourable response with
your full name, house address and telephone number to my private emal

Mr Charlton
