Hello

How are you doing today? I’m sending this brief letter to you to confirm if you have a family member or a relative bearing Michael ********? Because I can see from your last name here that you bear the same last name as Mr. Michael, I have been searching for any of his relatives for years but still can’t locate any of his family members and was wondering now if you know him. I shall send you more details about him and my purpose for looking for his family members when I receive a positive response from you. Please I will prefer this conversation to be private and confidential, I will suggest that you respond soonest.

Regards,

Mr. Mark

Response from me:
Sorry, I don't know anyone by that name.

I appreciate your response.

I am Mr. Mark Fishes Senior Accountant & the Auditor General of one of the new generation Bank here.

Though, this medium (Internet) has been greatly abused, But I choose to reach you through it because it still remains the fastest medium of communication. However, this correspondence is unofficial and private, and it should be treated as such. During our investigation and Auditing in the Bank, in my department I came across an abandoned sum of money, in an account that belongs to Mr. Michael ******* our foreign customer who died along with his entire family.

I wish to know if we can work together such that you can stand as his Next of Kin to a Fixed Deposit which he made to our Bank as you have the same last name as the deceased. He died and left nobody behind as his Next of Kin. Please get back to me with below email if you are interested markfishes@blumail.org or you can provide your email to me to write you more information regarding this deal.

Yours sincerely
Mr. Mark
