Attn sir,
My name is Adamu Yazid, i am the managing director of Prudent Bank PLC here in Nigeria, on 20th Novmber 2004 MR. Haryanto Tomo from indonesia, deposited the sum of U$10million dollars with our bank here in Nigeria, up till then i did not head from him not until when i received a news that there was a tsunami in asia that kill thousands of indonesia's, include one of nigerian Prudent customer Mr. Haryanto.
Right now i am contacting you to know if you can help me to receive the money over there as his relatives or next of kin, since all my effort to locate his family with the telephone number he gave me (62853700612) proved nothing, if you are willing to do this deal, you should not in any reason tell anybody about this transaction until you
confirm the money in your account/home, because all we need is to get the document of (change of onwership account from the federal high court) on your
behalf. Always call me on my direct line+ 234-80-331-27-410 for security reasons
or email me on: adamuyazid2@katamail.com
Waiting for your call now
Adamu Yazid
