Dear Sir/Madam,
Compliments of the day!
I got your contact on my private search for a reliable and trusted person to
handle a transaction of this nature. I know that the contents of this mail
might sound so strange, but I want to assure you that every word of it is
true.I am Mr.Mark D.Anderson, credit officer of the AFC Merchant Bank.I have
a concealed business suggestion for you.Before the plane crash of
macedonian's president and his cabinet members on February 26, 2004 , our
client Mile Krstevsk from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs,macedonia and also
business man made a numbered fixed deposit for 18 calendar months, with a
value of Nine Million,Six Hundred Thousand United State Dollars only in my
branch.You can visit this
website:http://antiwar.com/deliso/?articleid=2043
After his death it was also discovered that Mile Krstevsk did not declare
any next of kin in his official papers including the paper work of his bank
deposit. And he also confided in me the last time he was at my office that
no one except me knew of his deposit in my bank.So, Nine Million,Six Hundred
Thousand United State Dollars is still lying in my bank and no one will ever
come forward to claim it.What bothers me most is that according to the to
the laws of my country at the expiration two years the funds will revert to
the ownership of the Singapore Government if nobody applies to claim the
funds.Against this
backdrop, my suggestion to you is that I will like you as a foreigner to
stand as the next of kin to Mile Krstevsk so that you will be able to
receive his funds.
WHAT IS TO BE DONE:
I want you to know that I have had everything planned out so that we shall
come out successful.I have contacted an attorney that will prepare the
necessary document that will back you up as the next of kin to Mile Krstevsk
,all that is required from you at this stage is for you to provide me with
your Full Names and Address so that the attorney can commence his job.After
you have been made the next of kin,the attorney will also file in for claims
on your behalf and secure the necessary approval and letter of probate
in your favor for the move of the funds to an account that will be provided
by you.There is no risk involved at all in the matter as we are going to
adopt a legalized method and the attorney will prepare all the necessary
documents.
Please endeavor to observe utmost discretion in all matters concerning this
issue.Once the funds have been transferred to your nominated bank account we
shall share in the ratio of 70% for me, 25% for you and 5%for any expenses
incurred during the course of this operation.Should you be interested
please send me your private phone and fax numbers for easy communication,
you can write me via my private box thus:(ad_mark1882@yahoo.com.sg) and i
will provide you with more details of this operation.
Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Mr.Mark D.Anderson.
