AUDIT AND ACCOUNTS UNIT
IN MY BANK
LONDON, ENGLAND.
Dear Cunha,
I am Edward Willis, a staff of bills and exchange at the foreign
remittance Department of my 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 Arie 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 unless
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 decided to contact you, and you having the same last name with him,
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 i 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 or fax for further
directives on how to go about actualizing the claim in your name.
I look forward to your immediate response.
Best regards
Mr Edward Willis.
N/B: I know that this email will come to you as a surprise, considering the
fact that
it is unsolicited. I quite understand your concern over this matter
considering the happenings all over the world, I want to assure you that
this is a 100% legitimate and risk free transaction.
