OF THIRTY SIX MILLION SEVEN

THOUSAND POUNDS STERLINGâS]
My Name is Mr. Michael Ferdinand, and I work in the International
Operation Department in a Bank here in London. I was on a routine
inspection that I discovered a dormant domiciliary account with a
BAIL. Of (THIRTY SIX MILLION SEVEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY NINE THOUSAND
POUNDS STERLINGâS) on further discreet investigation, I also
discovered that the account holder has passed away (dead) leaving no
beneficiary to the account. The bank will approve this money to any
foreigner because the former operator of the a/c is a foreigner. I am
certainly sure that nobody will come again for the claim of this
money. A foreigner can only claim this money with legal claims to the
account Holder; therefore I need your cooperation in this transaction.
I will provide all the necessary information needed in order to claim
this money, hoping in God that you will never let me down now or in
future.
I had discussed this issue with my insider in the bank, and he have
instructed me to look for a foreigner who will be trusted and capable
to handle this transaction so that we can transfer this money out from
Uk. I guarantee that this will be executed under a concrete special
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of law.If you can be
trusted and capable to handle this business with me in full confidence
& trust, please send me the following information for documentation
purpose:
(1). Full names:
(2). Private phone numbers:
(3). Current residential address:
(4). Occupation:
(5). Age and Sex:
(6).Your Full Banking Details.
I looking forward to hear from you
Kind Regards.
