Hello,

I am contacting you on a business transaction of a huge sum of money from a deceased account,though i know a transaction of this magnitude will make any one apprehensive and worried, but I'm assuring you that all will be well at the end of the day and this is why am contacting you due to the urgency of this transaction.

We discovered an abandoned sum of (Seven million five hundred thousand United States dollars) in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along side with his entire family, and ever since his death none of his next of kin or relations has come forward to lay claims for this money as his heir.

We cannot release the funds from his account unless someone applies for claim as the next of kin to the deceased as indicated on our banking guidelines. And upon this discovery we now seek your permission to have you stand as a next of kin to the deceased in which all documentations will be carefully worked out by us for the (Seven million five hundred thousand United States dollars) to be released in your favor as the beneficiary's/next of kin to the deceased. And It may interest you to know that we have secured from the probate an order of mandamus to locate any of the deceased beneficiaries.

Kindly acknowledge receipt of this message in acceptance of our mutual business endeavor by furnishing me with the following;

1. Beneficiary name and address.
2. Direct telephone and fax numbers.

These requirements will enable us file letter of claim to the appropriate departments and authorities for necessary approvals for the release of the funds in your favor, before the transfer can be made to you. And we will be compensating you with thirty percent of the total funds on final conclusion of this project, while the rest will be for us and for investment purposes.
And If this proposal is acceptable by you, do not take undue advantage of the trust we have bestowed in you.

NB: If you are willing to assist me, including the information's i have requested from you, call me on my confidential tel: +871-764107753 for further details on what to do next.

I await your response and call.

Important Notes :-

1. Whatever you do, do not respond to any e-mail like this. If you have given bank details to any fraudster like this, then inform your bank immediately and also make sure that you close the account.

2. If the e-mail mentions a well known e-mail address such as from gmail.com, live.com, yahoo.com etc., then why not forward the offending e-mail to abuse@gmail.com, abuse@live.com etc. Hopefully, they'll remove the e-mail address, which will stop people being sucked in.
