Subject: FROM MR. HENRY DAVID.
Dear Sir,
As matters of urgency, I decided to write you this email, though I am very
sorry for any language you might find
disturbing or not pleasing to you. I never wish to engage myself in this
before now. But the urgency in this matter
prompted me to do so.
I am Henry David. A British citizen resident in Birmingham England. I am MR.
PHILIP RANDOPH’S Accounts
Manager with BARCLAYS BANK LONDON. MR. PHILIP RANDOLPH is a national of your
country, who lived in
Birmingham England. On the 21st of April 1999, my client was involved in a
car accident on the outskirts of the city. All
occupants of the
vehicle, including his immediate family, unfortunately lost their lives. I
have contacted you to assist in repatriating his
money and property left behind before they get confiscated or declared
unserviceable by my BANK where this huge
deposit was lodged. Particularly, the deceased had an Amount at about
32.897, 773.90 million pound sterling, equivalent to
32.9m pound.
After notification of the death of my client, my Bank (Barclays Bank) has
issued a notice to provide the relations/ next of
kin or have the Funds confiscated within the next 21 days. Since I have been
unsuccessful in locating the relatives all this
while till now, I have the pleasure to seek your consent to purport you as
the next of kin of deceased, as a foreigner and
have the proceeds of this Amount valued at 32.897, 773.90 million pound
sterling paid to you as the
bonafide approved Next of Kin. If you agree we can discuss the percentage
you will have as compensation on your
involvement. I have all necessary papers that can be used to back up the
facts and claim for the release of the funds. All I
require is your honest cooperation
and Sincerity to enable us see this deal through. I guarantee that this will
be executed under a legitimate arrangement that
will protect you from any breach of the law as it is a 100% risk free
venture. I will update you with details when I hear
from you.
I Await your Urgent Reply.
Kindly contact me through this email address if God touches your heart
to help me in this transaction: henrydavid@portugalmail.pt
Best regard,
Mr. Henry David
