The old money scam returns in a new format

Everyone ( hopefully) is aware of the "i'll split 70 million pounds with you from some dead Nigerians bank account" scam and hopefully no one should fall for it again.
As a result they have changed their tactics. This morning in the mail via first class post I received a letter outlining a similar proposition fully headed on Nat West Bank notepaper. It went on to say the person worked at Nat West and had found the money in a dormant account and wanted to transfer it to my account and split it. It had a fax number alongside genuine Nat West phone numbers etc.
Obviously I didn't fall for it but some might, so beware.
My letter will be handed in to my local Nat West branch this afternoon.
