(2) I need your urgent assistance in transferring the sum of ($15)million to your account within 10 or 14 banking days. This money has been dormant for years in our Bank without claim.
(3) I want the bank to release the money to you as the nearest person to our deceased customer (the owner of the account) who died along side with his supposed next of kin in an air crash since July 2000.
