relatives your name and email contact was among the findings that matches the
same surname as the deceased (name WITHELD for security reason) who
died intestate with no Will or next of kin. To maintain the level of
security required I have intentionally left out the final details.I urge you to come forward since I can provide you with the details

For those who don’t know how to tell that this is fake lets cover the important items!
- Banks can afford to give the employee’s real email addresses and not just a Hotmail.
- Anyone with half a brain should spell check their own emails, or even have spell check turned on!
- Grammatically speaking those in banking especially those dealing with foreign languages like English have some education and tend to make an effort.
- Also why do I need to send you details like my banking details? Surely a check could be sent.
So if you have doubts don’t respond! The old adage is true if it is too good to be true, it is not true!
