My dear
I am contacting you in regards to a business transfer of a huge sum of money
from a deceased account. Though I know that a transaction of this magnitude
will make anyone apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you that all
will be well at the end of the day. I decided to contact you due to the
urgency of this transaction.
PROPOSITION; I discovered an abandant sum of $15.5M(FIFTEEN MILLION Five
Hundred thousand United states Dollars) in an account that belongs to one of
our foreign customers who died along with his entire family. Since his
death, none of his next-of-kin or relations has come forward to lay claims
to this money as the heir. I cannot release the fund from his account unless
someone applies for claim as the next-of-kin to the deceased as indicated in
our banking guidelines. Upon
this discovery, I now seek your permission to have you stand as a next of
kin to the deceased as all documentations will be carefully worked out by me
for the funds $15.5M(FIFTEEN MILLION Five Hundred thousand United states
Dollars) to be released in your favour as the beneficiary's next of kin.It
may interest you to note that I have secured from the probate an order of
madamus to locate any of deceased beneficiaries.
Please acknowledge receipt of this message in acceptance of my mutual
business endeavour by
furnishing me with the following;
1. Your Full Names and Address.
2. Direct Telephone and Fax numbers.
These requirements will enable me file a letter of claim to the appropriate
departments for necessary approvals in your favour before the transfer can
be made. I shall be compensating you with 40% percent on final conclusion of
this project, while the rest 60% percent shall be for me. Your share stays
with you while the rest shall be for me for investment purposes in your
country.
If this proposal is acceptable by you, do not take undue advantage of the
trust I have bestowed in you, I await your urgent email.Then you can visit

MR Akim Musa.
