Subject: Greeting.
Greeting.
I have been in search of someone, so when I saw you online, I was pushed to contact you and see how best we can assist each other. I am James Cornwell a Bank Officer here. I am having an important business discussion I wish to share with you which I believe will interest you, because it is in connection with your last name and you are going to benefit from it.
A citizen of your country had a fixed deposit with my bank in 2009 for 108 calendar months, valued at US$7,000,000.00 (Seven Million United State Dollars) the due date for this deposit contract was last 22nd of January 2016. Sadly he was among the death victims in the May 27 2006 Earthquake disaster in Java, Indonesia that killed over 5,000 people. He was in Indonesia on a business trip and that was how he met his end. our bank management is yet to know about his death, I knew about it because he was my friend and I am his account officer. He did not mention any Next of Kin/ Heir when the account was opened.
That was why when I saw your last name I was happy and I am now seeking your co-operation to present you as Next of Kin/ Heir to the account, since you have the same last name with him and my bank head quarters will release the fund to you. There is no risk involved this transaction will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of law.
so I am suggesting we can share this funds equal 50/50% to both parties my share will assist me to start my own company in your country which has been my dream. Let me know your mind on this and please do treat this information as TOP SECRET. We shall go over the details once I receive your urgent response.
Best Regards
James Cornwell
