Attn xxxxx xxxxx,

My name is Mr. Edward Martins, I work in a very big bank at the private banking sector. I am writing in respect of a foreign customer of my bank who perished in a plane crash with some of the passengers on board. Since the demise of this our customer, I personally has watched with keen interest to see the next of kin but all has proved abortive as no one has come to claim his funds of USD. 20.5 m, [Twenty million five hundred thousand united states dollars] which has been with my branch for a very long time.

On this note, I decided to seek for whom his name shall be used as the next of kin as no one has come forth to be the next of kin. And the banking ethics here does not allow such money to stay more than Six years, because money will be recalled to the bank treasury as unclaimed after this period.

In view of this I got your contact through an uprooted search on the Internet realizing that your name and country is similar to the deceased. I will give you 40% of the total. Upon the receipt of your response, I will send you by fax or e-mail the application, bank's name and fax number and the next step to take. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this business is hitch free and that you should not entertain any fear as all modalities for fund transfer can be finalized within five banking days, after you apply to the bank as a relation to the deceased. When you receive this letter. Kindly send me an e-mail signifying your decision including your private Tel/Fax numbers for quick communication.

Respectfully submitted,
Edward Martins
