Hello
Thanks for your reply and sorry that i could not give you an immediate reply because i was out of base for official duties.
Like i informed you earlier,My name is Mr. Steve Bruce, an account manager with TD Canada Trust Bank, Ontario Canada. I retrieved your contact address in my search for the next of kin to a deceased customer of our bank Mr Larry Hyde a citizen of USA, who lived and died in London from Cardiac Arrest in the year 2013. Unfortunately this customer died intestate leaving his bank account with an open beneficiary status.
All efforts made by our bank to locate his relatives have been unsuccessful so I decided to write you as I have monitored this account in the bank for almost 10 years now and no one has come forth with any claim. I would like to present you to our bank as his next of kin so as to claim this dormant account worth $19.7Mllion USD (Nineteen Million Seven Hundred Thousand US Dollars).
You will apply to the bank as an extended relative to the deceased customer while I work from the inside to make sure all needed information and evidences are provided to you to back up your claim.
The account has an open beneficiary status that is why I have contacted you to come forth and claim the funds as the next of kin and beneficiary. If we do not make claim to the funds now, the funds would be reverted back to the system as unclaimed estate at the expiration of a 10 year dormancy period as approved.

I assure you that this transaction would be handled under due inheritance procedures and every necessary legitimate arrangement will be put in place to make you the real beneficiary of the inheritance funds. It also requires all confidentiality at this stage and I believe that you are ready to keep this absolutely discreet until you are able to claim the funds from the bank. Once the funds are released to you, it will be shared between the two of us.
I would give you more details, and we shall discuss more details as well as the procedure to achieve a successful completion. This is an opportunity of a lifetime and people achieve it everyday.
Please send me your contact telephone/Whatsapp number,below is my contact Whatsapp number as it is important we talk.
Attached are my official Bank's ID card and driver's license for your perusal(Please do not send it to any 3rd party)
Awaiting your prompt response.
Regards,
Steve Bruce
