STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
DO NOT DISCUSS WITH ANYONE, ESPECIALLY YOUR BANK
Most Esteemed Beneficiary,
I write to you in complete confidence after an exhaustive international search lasting several years.
A distant relative whom you have never met - and whose name is remarkably similar to yours - has left behind the sum of:
€48,700,042
Unfortunately, due to complicated international banking regulations, several unfortunate stamps and one extremely stubborn printer, these funds cannot be released without your assistance.
YOUR COOPERATION IS REQUIRED
To release the inheritance, please provide:
- Your full legal name
- Your bank account details
- A photograph of your passport
- Your mother’s maiden name
- The name of your first pet
- A small processing fee
For your kind and confidential assistance, you will receive 30% of the inheritance.
I will receive 30%.
The remaining 40% will be allocated to administrative mathematics.
TIME IS VERY LIMITED
You must respond within 24 hours, as the bank is becoming suspicious for reasons we cannot understand.
With great respect and urgent expectation,
His Royal Highness
Prince Valdo of Meranthia
Senior Executive Prince
Royal Office of International Estate Administration
