Dear friend,

I got your details after an extensive online search.
My very good friend traveled for his business. A successful prominent
business man Into export and Importations hardwares.On his way to his
usual search to various companies with his lovely wife and two kids. He
had a terrible accident
This eventually led to the death of him and his entire family.
All effort to get across to his family proved abortive since he was never
close them. Before his sought for good to buy.
deposited all his money in the bank
Since this amount ($48.3million (Forty Eight Million and Three hundred
thousand United States Dollars only) was to huge for him
to carry along and by law not allowed to carry such a huge amount around.
His bank recently intimated me to provide the next
of kin which I have not been able to find up till now. In order not to
loose this funds to the bank or government decided to
search online for a reliable and trustworthy Individual that can help me
receive this money In an account. I eventually got
your contact after an extensive search for an Individual bearing the same
family name with my late client.

Presently this $48.3million (Forty.
Eight Million And Three hundred thousand United States
Dollars only) Is lodged in a suspense account.
The circumstances surrounding the death of the
depositor with no known nominated successor has made
it difficult to locate anyone who is directly related
to the deceased.
With very strong feeling that no one will ever come
forward to claim the funds and the investigation
coming to a close after several months, the need for
assistance becomes crucial, as a next of kin to the
depositor is earnestly sought for and your name fits
exactly the family name of the depositor and that is
why i have contacted you today.
I have a legal and totally risk free means through
which the funds can be released to you or your
nominated bank account within a very short time after
due documentation and authentication process.
The strategy is to use my position as his Attorney to
present you as a next of Kin and beneficiary of the
time deposit.
I expect your response and if in the affirmative,
contact me on my Email:drwilliamhagler1@yahoo.com.hk
I shall advice you on what we need to do on receipt of
a positive response from you.
Email:drwilliamhagler1@yahoo.com.hk
I remain.
Williams Hagler.
