Attention: CEO,
IN DIRE NEED OF A FOREIGN ACCOUNT TO MOVE THE SUM OF $4.5M.
I am contacting you to partner with me to move the sum of $4.5M from
My company All Standard Securities Inc to your account abroad. I
Therefore write to ask that you quietly look for a reliable and honest
person or
organisation that will be capable of providing a bank account or would be
capable of
setting up a new bank account that will serve the purpose of receiving this
fund.
Even an empty account can also serve as long as there will be honesty to us
till the
end of the transaction and I hope you will never let me down.
I am the Auditor General, All Standard Securities Inc. In the course of our
auditing,
I discovered a floating fund in an account in the security company which was
opened
and deposited as valuables in 1997.After going through the company records
and files,
I discovered that :(1) No one has operated this account since year 2000; (2)
The owner of
the account died without a heir, hence the money has been floating. AND IF I
DO NOT
REMIT THIS MONEY URGENTLY, IT WOULD BE FORFEITED FOR NOTHING. Late Mitchel
Lee a
merchant, formerly working as a contractor to The federal Government until
his death
years ago in an auto crash was the owner of this account/estate deposited
with my
company with closing balance as at the end of September 2000, worth
$4,500.000.00
(Four Million Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars).
My company management/board of directors had tried unsuccessfully to locate
any of
his foreign next of kin/ beneficiary to come up for claims of his estate and
all have
proved to no avail.
It is because of the perceived possibility of not being able to locate any
of his
next of kin (he had no wife nor children according to his records here),
that the
Management of my bank under the influence of her Chairman and most Members
of the
Board of Directors, are of the opinion that the fund be declared to be
donated to a
discredited fund for ammunition which will further encourage war in the
whole of
Africa. In order to avert this negative development, I and my trusted deputy
now seek
your willingness and readiness to have you stand in as the next of kin to
the late
man so that the fund will be released and paid into your account as the
beneficiary /
next fcaceased's beneficiary (ies) and more so, I am assuring you that
this deal is 100% Risk Free. I your favour both in my company and also with
the
Probate Registry in the Department Of Justice.
Kindly forward your telephone, fax numbers and bank account details that
will be used
to transfer this money. I am ready to give you the sum of $1.5M for
assisting me in
this regard I look forward to your prompt reply through my
email.(joekamso@yahoo.com)
Best Regards
