Hello,
Please permit me to introduce my humble self to you,I'm Mr.Powell Smith,I am

Avenue De La Costa MC 98000., Monaco. I 'm 43yrs old, I got your email
address on the Internet, and my confidence reposed on you. I hope you read
this message carefully and reply me immediately.
Although we have not met before, but I suggest that this transaction will
bring us together.
My dear,we have a customer, a foreigner but based here in Monaco, his Name
is Mr.Hamilton Creek. He is from Atlanta Georgia United State of
America,butbased here with his wife and his one child, Mr.Hamilton has being
banking with our bank for the past 4yrs, some time August 2002, Mr.Hamilton
was on his way to his house, and unfortunately,Mr. Hamilton ran into a
Trailer load of Groundnut Oil, and died immediately,their car got burnt,no
single soul was saved,Mr. Hamilton Creek and his entire family was
confirmed dead.
My Board Of Directors and Board Of Management of Barclays Bank of Monaco PLC
has mandated and
instructed me to look for Mr. Hamilton Creek relation/relatives and his next
of Kin to come and claim Mr.Hamilton's Fund, Since August 2003 till date, I
have been looking for Mr.Hamilton Creek relation's and relatives/Next of Kin
to come and claim 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 Creek has no relation and no next of kin, their Ambassador told
me that Mr.Hamilton used his only son as his next of kin, but it is quite
unfortunate that Mr.Hamilton Creek 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 of
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 Creek.
I want you to act as the hamilton's relation, so that you will inherit
Mr.Hamilton Creek 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$59.2M Fifty nine Million Two Hundred Dollars,this is the exact amount
which late Mr. Hamilton Creek has in his domiciliary Account, and this money
is still in his account as unclaimed money.Thistransaction is very easy and
simple, and it is 100% risk free, I'm the Manager for international
Relations with Barclays Bank of Monaco PLC, and the Management and Board of
directors of the Bank are waiting for me to provide to them the Relation or
next of Kin to late Mr.Hamilton Creek, of which I told them that I am still
searching for 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 Creek, 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 Creek, and all Mr. Hamilton Creek
Properties and his Money US$59.2M Fifty nine Million Hundred Thousand
Dollars will be Transferred into your own Account as Mr.Hamilton Creek next
of kin., if you are interested,just email me . Late Mr. Hamilton Funds will
be Credited into your Account and all his Properties will be released to
you. So reply me immediately and let me know what you say, feel free to ask
any questions.
We will share Late Mr. Hamilton Creek Funds 50-50; you will take 50% of the
US$59.2M. Which is US$29.600,000.00 twenty nine Million Six Hundred Thousand
Dollars, while the Balance of the same amount will be mine. I will be
waiting for your immediate response to enable me send to you the copy of his
death certificate from the hospital after the accident, deposit
certificate issued and signed by our bank when he deposited the us$59.2m and
my
personal identity.
