we received a letter in the mail that started out with the statement: I am Mrs Elena A Morato; I am the Administrative manager at a Vault of a Financial & Security Institute in Barcelona. I am contacting you…about an abandoned sum of 26.7M USD…in our vault. …I agree that 40% of this money will be for you, 50% for me and 10% goes to ..charity.
I researched on line and see this exact letter (with different names and phone numbers) has been around for years. I just wanted to confirm with others this is obviously a scam.
