Hello Friend,
I send this mail to you with the intention that you are in the best position
to assist. I have an unfortunate situation, which if everything that is
intended is accomplished, would eventually be blessing in disguise. In my
place of work, I am a high ranked staff, one of the directors of this bank,
ZENITH INT'L BANK. We have this particular Filipino who has banked with us
for a long period of time he used to work for dezeng of before he resigned
to establish his private business Galut oil. But unfortunately on his way to
animal cat ranch a tourism center with his wife and only daughter. On their
way, they were involved in a multiple auto accident that claims their life
and we have since tried to contact his relative but all has been to no
avail.
All I request of you is to accept to help claim his right in the bank. The
late Philippine has USD28 million dollars. All you need do is to claim to be
his cousin or relative and I will front for you here to mastermind this
action. All necessary documents will be arranged on your name as the next of
kin and I will give the details of payment, but in summary, the funds are
coming via Central Bank of Nigeria
I would have used a native of my country but my bank would detect. It does
not matter where you come from but you most be a foreigner. I just want you
to note that the money will shared reasonably well. Also note that this help
I am requesting from you is based on trust because if the claim is granted
the money would be wired to you in your country. The reason why I choose you
is because I believe you would be able to help me to direct me how to invest
it properly as I am already in my retirement stage.
Finally I would like you to give me your word on your trust and your
sincerity and promise not to cheat or be dubious on me. If you are
interested, please write back and provide me with your confidential
telephone numbers and contact addresses to enable me arrange the next of kin
documents. Please keep this confidential; we can't afford more relative
search.
I look forward to you.
Regards,
Don Morowey.
