BARCLAYS BANK LONDON.

Dear Friend,
Re:An Idle Account for investment.
First,I must apologize to you for using this medium to communicate about
this transaction,though it is my great pleasure in writing you this letter
seeking your understanding to work with me.
I am Mr Ray Marthins,the district Foreign operation manager and head of
auditing and accounting section of barclays bank london I would be brief and
direct to ensure you understand everything properly.
I got your contact on my search for a trusted business partner and I solicit
for your assistance in this confidential business proposal.
THE PROPOSAL:
There is an dormant account in this Barclays Bank London which was opened in
2000 by one Mr.Maxel Kirchner a German National, who worked with oriental
diamond company Ltd London.Since 2001 nobody has operated on this account.I
carried an extensive investigation about the holder of the account and found
out that the owner Mr.Maxel Kirchner was assasinated in 2004 by unknown
people thereby abandoning the account.I also found out that his relations
has no contact information in the form he submitted to the bank at time of
establishment of the account.I have secretly removed all the relevant files
to the account from the dormant section so that bank auditors will not
verify the abandoned money and refer it to Federal Treasury.
The credit balance of the said account is US$21.3m.
My dear friend,the deal here is that this money in this account will be
approved and remitted to any foreigner who shows up as relation to
Mr.Kirchner provided such person has correct information to that dormant
account.
Meanwhile the whole arrangement to put claim over these funds as the
bonafide next of kin to the deceased and transfer this money to a foreign
account has been put in place.Directives and needed information will be
relayed to you as soon as you indicate your interest and willingness to
assist and also benefit from this great business opportunity.We could have
done this deal on our own,but because of my position in this country
operating a local account would eventually raise an eye brow on my side
during the time of transfer because I work in this bank.
This is the actual reason why it will require a second party that will
forward claims as the next of kin to the Bank and also present a oreign
account where he will need the money to be re-transferred into on his
request as it would be after due verification and clearification by the
correspondent branch of the bank where the whole money will be remitted from
to your own designated bank account.
May I at this point emphasize that this transaction is a successful
arrangement,as an insider of the bank I have the capacity to monitor that
everything is going well.
As I am with the needed information I will source all the necessary
documents and forward them to you for direct submission to the bank. With my
position as the foreign operations manager we will quietly transfer the
credit balance of the said account to your nominated bank account in your
country with out hitches,but the problem is trust.It is worthy to note that
people are unreliable these days and even derive joy in telling lies. On
this ground I request for your sincere cooperation devoid of greed in
carrying out this transaction so that no one amongst both of us shall
defraud each other at the end. I am prepared to split at 70%---30% for you,
provided that mine will be intact at the end.
Fee free to come up with your suggestions to work with us.
I awaits for your urgent reply for assistance.
Open the attachment below for the statement of account.
Best Regards,
Mr Ray Marthins.
Director of operation (BBL)
