Mr. Hamilton's Fund which he Deposited with our bank,
I have contacted his Embassy and after 3days, his
Ambassador told me that Mr. Hamilton has no relation
and no next of kin, their Ambassador told me that Mr.
Hamilton used his first son as his next of kin, but it
is quite unfortunate that Mr. Hamilton died with all
his family members. The reason why I contacted you is
thus, Mr. Hamilton is dead, and his only son whom
supposed to inherit his properties and money also,
died with him. As at this moment, nobody or Person[s]
is coming to claim this money from our bank. The
board directors and management of our bank has told me
that if nobody or person[s] apply for the claim of Mr.
Hamilton Fund, the bank will return Mr. Hamilton's
Fund into our Federal Reserve.
In the Light of the above, I want you to stand as the
Relation/relative of
Late Mr. Hamilton; I want you to act as the Hamilton's
Brother, so that you will inherit Mr. Hamilton Money
which he deposited with our bank, it might interest
you to know that Mr. Hamilton has a Domiciliary Bank
Account with our Bank and he has a total sum of
US$9.2M Nine Million Two Hundred Dollars, this is the
exact amount which late Mr. Hamilton has in his
domiciliary Account, and this money is still in his
account as unclaimed money.
This transaction is very easy and simple, and it is
100% risk free, I'm the
Manager for International Relations with Access Bank
of Nigeria Limited, and the Management and Board
Directors of the Bank are waiting for me to provide to
them the Relation or next of Kin to late Mr. Hamilton,
of which I told them that I am still searching the
next of kin to the deceased. Finally, if you are
interested with this transaction, I will front you to
the bank as the only next of kin to late Mr. Hamilton,
and I will let the bank know that you are the only
right person to inherit late Mr. Hamilton Funds and
properties. If you agree with me, I will present you
to my bank as the rightful person/next of kin to Late
Mr. Hamilton, and all Mr. Hamilton Properties and his
Money US$9.2M Nine Million Two Hundred Thousand
Dollars will be Transferred into your own Account as
Mr. Hamilton next of kin.
If you are interested, just email me. If you are
