Subject: DEAR , AS THE BENEFICIARY TO LATE JOHN, GET BACK TO ME ASAP.
FROM: DR DANIEL OKAFOR,
ACCOUNTING UNIT,

MY DEAR ,
I am Dr. Daniel Okafor ,the Chief Accountant incharge of Accounting section of CONTINENTAL TRUST BANK LTD, LONDON UK. I came across the sum of US$7.5million belonging to MR. JOHN L.GARRY , a national of your country.
On April 21st 1999, MR. JOHN, a Foreign Oil cosultant, made a Fixed deposit of his money with my bank, valued at US$7.5 Million Dollars (Seven Million Five hundred Thousand Us Dollars) in my Bank. Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his address but got no reply .
After a month , we sent a reminder letter upon which we finally discovered from his contract employers, The DIXXON PETROLEUM (DP) that our late customer died with his family in LONDON UK train crash .
It was gathered that on the October 5, 1999, my client who travelled with his wife (Clara) and their two children was involved in the trains crashed near PADDINGTON Station, which is less than a mile north of Notting Hill.This is one of Britain's worst train crashes in fifty years.You can see the web page:

We in the Bank here have been expecting his/her next of kin/relative(s) for the inheritance of the deposit, but none has surfaced.
The policy of the Bank however stipulates a limited time period for such inheritance to be made or the fund will be written off going by the record of the incident, the time limit for the claim is closing up. In this consideration, I am contacting you to seek for your kind understanding and sincere co-operation to claim this inheritance FUND for our mutual benefit in view of the fact that I have all necessary informations which will back you UP as the BENEFICIARY/NEXT OF KIN to the deceased MR JOHN and of the same country of origin with you.
If you can stand as the next of kin in this project, success is assured because I am in possession of the personal file jacket of the deceased which contains every needed information about the deceased account, you and I stand no risk of any kind because I have enough information to support you in claiming the inheritance.
The proceedings of the transaction will be shared 50% each after expenses are reimbursed. Kindly indicate your willingness and we shall proceed with the initial step for the claim.The entire project is expected to last for about ten working days from the commencement date.
Hope to hear from you soonest showing your interest and willingness to assist me .
Yours ,
Mr Daniel Okafor.
