Subject: Hello
Hello,
My name is Mr Peter Ezra,A banker
I am a staff of Royal Trust Bank. The personal Account Manager to the late Engineer, who was formerly working with shell Oil and Development Company in Abidjan (Ivory Coast) hereinafter, referred to as my clientele. On 30th JAN 2000, my clientele, his wife, and their three children were involved in the Kenya Airways (registration number 5Y-BEN) air crash which departed from Nairobi to destination Lagos and all the family died in this fatal air mishap on 30th JAN 2000.
Since then I have made several inquiries to locate any of my clientele's extended relatives, this proved unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his last name on the Internet, to locate any member of his family hence I contacted you. I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money left behind by my clientele before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Bank (Royal Trust Bank.) where these huge deposits were lodged where the deceased had an account valued at about (16.5 Million U.S Dollars). Recently, my Bank (Royal Trust Bank) issued me a notice to provide my clientele's next of kin or have the account confiscated within the shortest time frame.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for years now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased since you have the same last name with him so that the proceeds of this account valued at (16.5 Million U.S Dollars) can be paid into your account. As a matter of business, the sharing formula runs thus: 55% to me and 40% to you and 5% set aside to offset expenses incurred by both parties. An attorney will be contracted to help us to obtain all the necessary legal documents that can be used to back up your claims.
All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us seeing this deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect us from any breach of the law. I shall furnish you with the procedure as soon as I have an indication that you wish to finalize this deal with me.
Best regards,
Mr Peter Ezra
