I'm the luckiest man in Australia.
I got another top secret email.
Now I've won €11,500, 000.00.


COPY OF EMAIL.

Dear Friend,

Firstly, I must solicit your confidence in this transaction; this is by virtue of its nature as being utterly confidential and
top secret. Though I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make any one apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you that all will be well at the end of the day. Let me start by first introducing myself properly to you. It may surprise you receiving this letter from me, since there was no previous correspondence between us My Name is Dr/Barrister Anthony Dale, (Spanish Lawyer and Doctor in Law) a personal Attorney to Late Mr. Oliver , an expatriate engineer and contractor

　

My purpose of contacting you is for you to help me to secure his funds deposited with Spanish Bank before he died, to avoid it being confiscated or declared as unclaimed by the Bank. The fund value is €11,500, 000.00 (Eleven Million, Five Hundred Thousand Euros), this money was deposited by my late client before he passed away, he died by stroke and cancer on the 16th April 2014, and up till today his relatives remained unknown.

All relevant documents and information as regards to the cash deposit is in my possession as we speak therefore I guarantee the success of this transaction in all legal definitions. As his attorney I have contacted the bank for the claim of the fund and the Bank has issued me a notice to contact the next of kin or the account will be declared unserviceable and the fund will be retired by the state (Ayuntamiento de Madrid). This type of incident is not new, there are many people who try to evade taxes in their country of origin by depositing their money in a foreign secret accounts but I never knew my late client had one until his accidental death and the eventual disclosure from my contact in the bank. Since this account is secret and there is no one left to claim the fund I am contacting you.

　

I am actually asking for your consent to present you to the Bank as the Next of Kin/beneficiary of my late client’s fund, since you have the same last name and the same country with (Australia), so that the fund will be released to you as his next of kin. All the legal documents to back up your claim as my client’s next of Kin are with me. All I require is your honest cooperation and absolute confidentiality in order to guarantee success.

　

I wish to point out that I want 20% of this money to be shared among the Charity Organizations, while the remaining is shared equally between us. This transaction is entirely risk free. I will use my position as the client’s personal attorney to guarantee the successful execution of this transaction. If you are interested, please contact me Tel: + 34 631 938 079, Email: anthonydalle22@gmail.com <mailto:anthonydalle22@gmail.com> upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details and relevant documents that will help you understand more on this transaction.

　

The intended transaction will be processed under legitimacy,which will protect me and you from any violation of law. If you wish to achieve the goal with me, please kindly get back to me with your interest for further explanations and better understanding. Also be kind to let me know if you are not interested so that I can further my search to another Citizen that has the same surname with my late client.

Kindest Regards
