Dear Friend
Good day to you. I may have to trouble your sense of personal achievement
and reward for an opportunity properly taken advantage of.I work for Allied
Irish Bank Plc here in Dublin, Ireland. I am a relationship officer and
one of my biggest customer was Isam Mattar, a Lebanese, now deceased. He
had a fixed time deposit with my Bank which has matured and remains unclaimed
till now. It runs into
the value of US$24 Million.
I knew him so well since he had one of my mostperforming accounts.
However the account opening package of Isam Mattar does not contain any
next of kin and neither has it been possible to trace any relative of Isam
Mattar. My personal knowledge of Isam Mattar and experience in the banking
industry reveals that such monies remain recycling in the monies of the
bank until finally they may be dissipated as unclaimed funds.
A colleague of mine who works in the Legal Department,and particularly
in the Inheritance Unit has agreed with me that I should clandestinely look
for someone who will assist us to have the money legally claimed and moved
out of our bank for our joint purpose. We are in house members and have
put in place effective measures to ensure that this works out smoothly.
We need you to front as the beneficiary of the estate of Isam Mattar. This
is simple and will be done at our end. We will employ the services of an
external solicitor to help prepare letters of probate which will be in your
favour as the beneficiary of Isam?s investment.
This will be registered in our country?s Probate division of the High Court
of Dublin and then forwarded to our Bank and you will thus be given access
to the money as the owner.This is sure as we have put in measures to ensure
that this works without any hitch. Assurances are given to you, to this
effect, we have our job to protect and cannot afford to fail.When you have
safely secured same and moved the money to your given account we shall then
meet and have the booty shared.
We have decided that your share shall be 30% while we shall take home 35%
each. Kindly take note of this to avoid any future dispute on how to distribute
the facility among us. I think this is an open show of magnanimity, we have
given too much concession and will not go a single Dollar beyond this.
If you are capable of putting your time and efforts towards the actualization
of this, kindly reach me and let us work together to get achieved.Please
have every second thought and be sure if you are interested before you contact
me, don?t just contact me because of the amount involved but please only
do so if you know you are genuinely interested and will give it the required
commitment for the good of us all.
Have a very wonderful day.
Yours truly,
MacDonald Gerald.
