Dear,

Firstly, I must solicit your confidence in this transaction; this is by virtue of its nature as being utterly confidential and top secret. Though I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make any one apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you that all will be well at the end of the day. My name is Barrister Antonio Sanz Maroto, a personal Attorney to my late client; my purpose of contacting you is for you to help me and secure the funds left behind by my late client, to avoid it being confiscated or declared unclaimed by the Bank; the fund valued $23.500, 000.00 (Twenty Three Million, Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars) was deposited by my late client before he passed away on the 16th April 2012, living the fund with no Will.

The Bank has issued me a final notice to contact his relatives/the next of kin or else the account will be declared unserviceable and the fund will be diverted to the Bank treasury, So far all my efforts to get a hold of some one related to my late client has been in vain. Hence, I have decided to look for a reliable person that has gotten the same surname with my late client. I am actually asking for your consent to present you to the Bank as the Next of Kin, since you have the same surname so that the proceeds of this account can be paid to your account. All the legal documentations to back up our claim as my client's next of Kin, I shall provide them. All I require from you is your full confidential co-operation to enable us achieve this transaction.

I wish to point out that I want 10% of this money to be shared among the Charity Organizations, while the remaining 90% is shared equally between us. This transaction is entirely risk free. I will use my position as the clients personal attorney to guarantee the successful execution of this transaction. If you are interested, please contact me via Tel: +34 632 741 166,or Email: upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details and relevant documents that will help you understand more on this transaction. However, if this business proposal offends your moral ethics, please do accept my sincere apology, If on the contrary you wish to achieve this goal with me, kindly get back to me with your interest for further explanations.

Kindest Regards,
Barrister Antonio Sanz Maroto.
