Thanks for your response, my name is Micheal Ruthven, a senior partner in the Technical Advisory Board of Standard Trust Bank Group (Senior Security Specialist). We are conducting a standard process investigation on behalf of "STB Group", the International Banking conglomerate and I came across your email during an extensive search on the internet for who shares the second name and your email popped up first.

We are conducting a standard process investigation on behalf of the International Banking Conglomerate. This investigation involves a client who shares the same second name identity (which I used in searching out your email address) with you and also the circumstances surrounding the investments made by this client at "Standard Trust Bank Group". You may not know anyone here but you share same second name. The client died in-testate and nominated no successor in title over the investments made with the bank with the total of US$9.6M. I would respectfully request that you keep the contents of this mail private and respect the integrity of the information you come by as a result of this mail.

It is also pertinent to let you know that I have prayed and inquire from God about our partnership in this deal and I can confirm to you that I am convinced that we can both achieve success in the end. I therefore will advice you to consult with your God and let me know the outcome. This is very important to me because I believe in spiritual directives and confirmation in anything I do.

I would like to intimate you with certain facts that I believe would be of interest to you. Since you share similar details to the late fellow, I am seeking your consent to present you as the next of kin and have them release the deposit to you. We shall share the proceeds in the ratio of 50% each.

I am the only one who knows of this situation and now you are second, for the sake of transparency in this matter, you are free to make immediate contact with me through my confidential email once I get your positive response to this email; I will intimate you with the process towards a conclusion.

I send you this mail not without any measure of fear as to the consequences, but I know within me that nothing ventured is nothing gained and that success and riches never come easy or on a platter of gold.

To indicate your interest in this transaction, I will advise you furnish me with the following details for easy and effective communication so that I can compute it into the data base of the bank to back up the claim and present you as the next of kin to the deceased,

FULL NAMES:
ADDRESS:
AGE:
SEX:
CELL PHONE NUMBER:
OCCUPATION:

If you deem it fit to be part of this great promising venture, please indicate your interest by responding to this notice. I will give you the comprehensive details in my next correspondence on the necessary steps to take for us to achieve success in this transaction as soon as I have your consent as regards my proposal.

Kind Regards,

Micheal Ruthven.

Dear XXX,

Thanks for your mail, as I have said, this transaction requires a few working days since we will follow all due banking and legal process, your information have been computed into the data base of the bank presenting you as the next of kin to the deceased, there by making it legal. For us to achieve this goal, there are certain standard that should be obtainable for the claim process. The first step is that you will have to swear an affidavit here in Pretoria South Africa, at the Federal High Court of Justice claiming the next of kin to the late Engr. Fredli XXX, on securing the affidavit you will forward it with an application for re validation of the account to the bank.

All information regarding the deceased, I will give to you as I have said earlier on, and all the paper documentation will be process through my desk and this makes it easier for us. Right now all I need to know from you is whether you will be coming down to South Africa to follow up the due process yourself but in case you can't make up the trip at the moment it means that you will have to follow the short cut method; there by contacting the legal head of the bank to assist you in getting this project done. On your response, I will give you the account number of late Engr. Fredli XXX. As soon as all the requirement are reached, the fund will be remitted into your nominated account on your instruction.

I await your urgent response.

Kind regards,

Micheal Ruthven.
