URGENT RESPOND NEEDED.
Mr.Steinhauser Jan Rudolf
Abn Amro Bank,
The Netherlands.
Good Day,
Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr.Steinhauser Jan Rudolf, the director of operations of one of the Abn Amro Bank branch . I have an obscured business suggestion for you. Before, the death of Mr. Morris Thompson a US based business man, he made a numbered of fixed deposit for 60 calendar months, with a sum of Twenty- Nine millions, Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars (US$29.5M) only in my branch.
Upon maturity notice was sent to him several times , but no response came from him rather we later found out that the Mr. Morris Thompson along with his wife and only daughter died on plane crash
You can read more about the crash on visiting the site below:

After further investigation it was also discovered that Mr. Morris Thompson did not declare any next of kin in his official papers including the paper work of his bank deposit. And he also confided on me that no one except me knew of his deposit in my bank. So, Twenty-Nine millions Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars is still lying in my bank and no one will ever come forward for the claim. Thus what bothers me most is that according to the law of my Country that at the expiration of Five ( 5 ) years , every unclaimed fund will be reverted to the ownership of the Netherland Government Treasure, if nobody applies to claim the funds. Hence against this backdrop, I will suggest to you that I will like you as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to Mr. Morris Thompson so that you will be able to receive this funds.
MODALITIES:
I want you to know that I have had everything planned out so that we shall come out successful. I have an attorney that will prepare the necessary document that will back you up as the next of kin to Mr. Morris Thompson , all that is required from you at this stage is for you to provide me with your Full Names and Address so that the attorney can commence his job. After you have been made the next of kin, the attorney will also file in for claims on your behalf and secure the necessary approval and of probate in your favour for the move of the funds to an account that will be provided by you.There is no risk involved at all in this matter, as we are going to adopt a legalized method and the attorney will prepare all the necessary documents. Please endeavor to observe utmost discretion in all matters concerning this issue. Once the funds have been transferred to your nominated bank account we shall then share in the ratio of 50% for me, 50% for you.
