In my department we discovered an abandoned su= m of $15 Million U.S.A Dollars ( Fifteen Million U.S.A Dollars) . In an acc= ount that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with his en= tire family in (Monday 31st July 2000) in a plane crash. Since we got infor= mation about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin to come over= and claim his money because we cannot release it unless somebody applies f= or it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our bankin= g guidelines, but unfortunately we learnt that all his supposed next of kin= or relation died alongside with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behi= nd for the claim.
