Banks & bankers, just like politicians worldwide, stink.

Grasping hackers are no different. They cluck & cackle in anticipation of ill-gotten gains.

Purely as a goodwill gesture.
May I suggest that you ask this "gentleman" to deposit say 5% of the aforementioned sum into an account of your own choosing before any negotiations can take place.

Most astonishing of my discovery was that, all records bear no next of kin,
meaning no member of Mr. Richard Brokav family knows about the deposit
therefore, no member of his family will ever come forward to claim the money, in
order for the bank not to declare the said sum of Sixteen Million Five Hundred
Thousand United State Dollars ($16,500,000.00) as unclaimed funds and confiscate
it to the emirates treasury account, the above stated funds must be claimed
immediately by somebody standing in as late Mr. Richard Brokav Next of Kin
because according to (UNITED ARAB EMIRATES LAW), at the expiration of 15
(Fifteen) years, the money will be reverted to the ownership of the (UNITED ARAB
EMIRATES GOVERNMENT) if nobody applies to claim the fund. This revelation is
only known to me because i was his personal account officer before i was moved
to my present post as the branch manager, now i seek your cooperation to act as
next of kin to late Mr. Richard Brokav, to claim the funds and move them into
useful investments, we shall split the cash between our self upon the
confirmation of the money into your Bank account. I am ready to offer you 35% of
the total funds and 60% for me as the initiator of the deal while 5% will be set
aside for any expenses.

Please note that by virtue of my position in the bank, i have worked out perfect
modality as well as i shall provide the relevant information and documents for
the successful claiming and transfer of the funds into the account that will be
provided by you. I cannot stand in the forefront of this transaction because i
work with the bank, that is why i have come to you for assistance, be rest
assured that this deal involves no risk, upon the receiving of your acceptance

you is not to discuss this matter with anybody, if you have any reasons to

information will be too bad for me at my work place as the Branch Manager
National Bank of Abu Dhabi, here in U.A.E and that is why i can't use my
