Subject: GOOD DAY SIR./ URGENT REPLY
Dear Sir,
By way of introduction i am Mr.Kamal Johnson working in
the credit and accounts department Union Bank Plc. I
write you in respect of a foreign customer with
Domiciliary A/C number 6402356789 His name is Engineer
Joseph Schultzman.
He was among those who died in a Russia airbus A-310
plane which crashed in the siberian city of Irkutsk
and for your perusal the sad incident happened on
Monday July' 10th 2006. You may recall that as at the
time the crash 124 people lost their life’s while four
other reported missing.
Since the demise of this our customer, Engineer Joseph
Schultzman, who was an oil merchant/contractor here. I
have kept a close watch of the deposit records and
accounts and since then no body has come to claim the
said money in this a/c as next of kin to the late
Engineer. He had only $38.5 million in his a/c and the
a/c is coded.
It is only an insider that could produce the code or
password of the deposit particulars. As it stands now,
there is nobody in that position to produce the needed
information other than my very self considering my
position in the bank. For the fact that nobody has
come forward to claim the deposit as next of kin, I
hereby ask for your co- operation in using your name
as the next of kin to the deceased to send these funds
out to an offshore bank a/c for mutual sharing between
myself and you.
At this point I am the only one with the information
because I have removed the deposit file from the safe.
What is required of you is to send an application
laying claims of the deposit as next of kin to the
late Engineer. I will need your full name and address,
company or residential, so that i can computerize them
to tally match with next of kin column also to reflect
in the certificate of deposit.
When you contact me then we shall discuss on how the
money will be split between us. Finally for more
detailed news about the said crash kindly visit this

Trusting to hear from you.
I remain Respectfully.
Yours,
Mr. Kamal Usman
