For your kind attention,
I write this mail in confidence, believing that it will reach you in high spirit
and I also believe that you will maintain the level of confidence and trust
that this business deal requires. Though I know that this Deal may make you
apprehensive and worried, but I assure you that all will be well at the end.
Before proceeding, I wish to introduce myself. I am charles hunt, a Manager
with Natwest Bank United Kingdom.
My Proposal to you:
An America Citizen, by name Mr. William Barnes, a successful businessman until
his death in EGYPTAIR FLIGHT 990 on 31st October, 1999. His wife Mrs. Tamsin
Ebner and daughter Ms. Paula Ebner died with him in the plane crash. For
further information regarding the plane crash, kindly visit this website:
http://www.greatdreams.com/PassEAir990.htm. Before
the death of Mr. Ebner he operated a domiciliary account with my bank and had a
closing balance as at the end of August 1999 amounting to $26,000,000.00. Since
his death my bank has been expecting a next of kin to stand as beneficiary to
these funds but no one has come up. Valuable efforts have been made by
my department to locate any of late Robert Ebner relative or his business
partner to stand as beneficiary to his estates but there was no success in our
search.
It is because of the perceived possibility of not being able to locate any of
Late Robert Ebner next of kin since his wife and daughter died with him in
the plane crash. Consequently, the top boards of Directors
of my bank are planning to declare the fund "Unclaimed" and transfer it to
special trust fund for purchase of arms and ammunition for soldiers in Iraq. In
other to avert this negative development, I now seek your permission to have
you stand as next of kin to the estate of late
Robert Ebner, so that these funds $26,000,000.00 will be released and paid
into your nominated bank account as the beneficiary and next of kin. I will
perfect all documents and proves to enable us transfer these funds.
I have secured from the probate registry an order of mandamus to locate any of
the Late Robert Ebner relative or Business partner. I am assuring you that
this deal is risk free and all documents will be perfected legitimately. Once
these funds are moved to your nominated account, you will be entitle to 40% as
gratification to this deal, 10% will be set aside for any expenses incurred in
the cause of this business deal and 50% will be for me. Have it in mind that my share will be in your
care until I am able to resign from active service with my bank. I will also
like you to invest my share immediately in a profitable venture and any profit
made will be shared 50-50 between us.
As soon as I receive your acceptance to participate in this deal, I will furnish
you with the necessary modalities to commence. Finally, I am relying in my
confidence in you having opened up to you, if you are not
interested, please feel free to inform me so that i will continue to scout for a willing
partner.
For further correspondence, kindly contact me via my personal email address

Sincerely,
charles hunt
