Dear Friend,
My Name is Patrick James ,I am a clerk under the director in charge of auditing JP Morgan Chase Bank London in accounting department. I discovered an abandoned sum of money worth of US$12Million dollars (Twelve Million US dollars) in file that belongs to our foreign customer, Late Mr.Seely Marra from America who died along with his entire family in July 2000 in a plane crash. Below is a website which I will appreciate you going through to read the information.

Since then, I have made several inquiries to locate any of his extended relatives but all effort has proved abortive.The reason why I am contacting you is based on trust to enable me present you as the next-of-kin to him so this fund will be released to you for safety and subsequent disbursement.
Nobody has come to our bank for claiming of the fund. It will be easy to convince the bank since I am in possession of the necessary legalized documents that backs-up the fund and I will present you as the rightful next-of-kin to the deceased customer. I don’t want this fund to go into bank’s treasury as unclaimed bill. The bank laws and guidelines stipulates that if such fund remains unclaimed after eight years, the bank will confiscate it. The request for a foreigner as next-of-kin in this transaction is occasioned by the fact that late Seely was a foreigner and any I cannot stand as next-of-kin to a foreigner.
All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us see this transaction through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. I agree that 25% of this money will be for you as a respect to the provision of your assistance , 5% will be set aside for expenses incurred during the transaction, another 5% to help the less privilege and to assist the charity organizations in Africa and orphanage homes while the rest 65% will be for me. Thereafter, I will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentage indicated. Therefore, to enable the immediate release of this fund, you must apply to the bank as the relation or next of kin of the deceased indicating your complete information, complete name, postal address, occupation, your private telephone and fax number for easy and effective communication.
I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is hitch-free and that you should not entertain any fear as all required Arrangements will be made. You should contact me as soon as you receive this mail.Or you can send your mobile phone number for me to call you. Trusting to hear from you immediately for more detailed discussion.
Regards,
Patrick James
