In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of $15,500,000.00 (Fifteen million five hundred thousand United States Dollars) In an account that belongs to a foreign national,an oil consultant with Shell Petroleum company, who died in a car accident with his wife and only daughter on 27th April 1998. Since we got the information about his death,we have been expecting his next of kin or relatives to come over and claim his money because the bank cannot release it unless somebody officially applies for it as indicated in our banking guidelines,but unfortunately we learned that all his supposed next of kin died alongside with him in the event of the crash leaving nobody behind for the claim of his estate (Fund) with our bank.
Upon Maturity of the deposit, the fund was confined to a dormant status where upon we made this discovery,and It is a standard practice that after the expiration of Ten years the funds will be declared as an "Unclaimed Asset Resource" and the account is closed. My major reason for contacting you is because I wish to use your information to transfer this fund to a foreign bank account in your country.

1. My conviction of your transparent honesty and diligence.
2. That you will treat this transaction with utmost secrecy and confidentiality.
3. That you will not ask for more share than what is negotiated or try to sit on the funds or indulge in any form of blackmail once the funds is under your custody.
As soon as you accept this condition and finally indicate your interest in this deal,I will need the following information below to commence the process.
YOUR FULL NAME//........
NATIONALITY//...............
TELEPHONE/FAX//..........
I advise that you get back to me as soon as possible for more explanations and possible means of transferring this fund. Please be rest assured that as far as I'm concerned this transaction is 100% risk free because I have already covered every loop holes and also set my machinery at work to avoid traces,and I will destroy every paperwork/documents related to this transaction as soon as the deal is concluded.
