Subject: URGENT
I crave your indulgence at this mail coming from somebody you have not met before. I decided to do this after praying over the situation, you should please consider this transaction on its content and not the fact that you have not known me before. I need not dwell on how I came by your contact information because there are many such possibilities these days.
I would like to introduce myself as Albert Cole, I am a bank manager in Eco bank London, I have a client (Mr. Leo Arthur) that deposited Twelve Million Dollars in 1999 in his fixed deposit account and that include the interest, the man died in a fire accident in his house since 2002 and since then, after going through the bank formalities with the address he gave on his account, as the bank manager, I discovered that none of the family member is aware of the money. So I am seeking for your assistance, if you can help me and save this money in to your country. as you will be declared and claim to be one of his relatives.
Albert Cole,
