Attn: Please,
I am Mr Jones Martins, a staff of bills and exchange at
the foreign remittance Department of Midland Bank London.
In my department, we discovered an abandoned sum of
(US$8.5M) Eight Million, Five hundred, thousand United
States Dollars only, in an account that belongs to Donald
Compos who died along with his entire family in 26th
December 2003 in a plane crash
during their christmas holiday.

Since we got information about his death,the bank has been
expecting his next of kin to come over for the claims
because we cannot release it unles somebody applies as a
next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our
banking guidelines.
Unfortunately we learnt that he did not mention any
beneficiary to his account before his sudden death. It is
therefore upon this discovery that I and a colleague of
mine in the office now decided to contact you, with our
suport as insiders in the bank, it makes it easier for the
money to be released to you as the next of kin or relation
to the decease since nobody is fronting for the money and we
do not want this funds to go into disbursement account as
unclaimed bill.
The banking law and guidelines here stipulates that if such
money remained unclaimed after four(4) years the money will
be transferred into the government account as unclaimed
fund.
We shall negotiate on the percentage split of the funds as
we proceed.
Therefore to enable immediate release of the inheritance to
you as arranged, you should contact me immediately via email
for further directives on how to go about actualizing the
claim in your name.(jmartins_midland@yahoo.co.uk)
I look forward to your immediate response.
Best regards
Mr Jones Martins.
