DEAR SIR,
MY NAME IS FRED ADAMS,LAWYER BY PROFESSION AND PERSONAL ASSISTANCE TO LATE
MR LARRY BALDRIDGE JR.I AM WRITTING IN RESPECT OF A FOREIGN CUSTOMER OF ABN
AMBRO BANK HOLLAND(MR. LARRY BALDRIDGE JR OF UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WHO
PERISHED IN THE PLANE CRASH ON 2001[ON BOARD ALASKA AIR lINES FLIGHT 261. ]
WITH OTHER PASSENGERS.
SINCE THE DEMISE OF MR. LARRY BALDRIDGE JR,RIDGEFIELD,CONNECTICUT, I
PERSONALLY HAVE WATCHED WITH KEEN INTEREST TO SEE THE NEXT OF KIN BUT ALL
HAS PROVED ABORTIVE AS NO ONE HAS COME TO CLAIM HIS FUNDS OF USD30M,[THRITY
MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS]HAS BEEN WITH THIS BANK HERE FOR A VERY LONG
TIME.ON THIS NOTE I DECIDED TO SEEK FOR YOUR NAME SHALL BE USED AS THE NEXT
OF KIN,AS NO ONE HAS COME UP TO PUT CLAIM AS THE NEXT OF KIN TO THIS FUNDS
AND THE BANKING ETHICS HERE DOES NOT ALLOW SUCH MONEY TO STAY MORE THAN FIVE
YEARS,BECAUSE AFTER FOUR YEARS THE MONEY WILL BE CALLED BACK TO THE BANK
TREASURY AS UNCLAIMED BILL.
IN VIEW OF THIS I GOT YOUR CONTACT OVER THE INTERNET I WAS CONVINCED IN MY
MIND THAT YOUR NAME COULD BE USED AS THE NEXT OF KIN TO THIS CLAIM.THE
REQUEST OF A FOREIGNER AS A NEXT OF KIN IN THIS BUSINESS IS OCCASIONED BY
THE FACT THAT THE CUSTOMER WAS A FOREIGNER AND A BRITISH CANNOT STAND AS THE
NEXT OF KIN TO A FOREIGNER.
I AGREED THAT 30% OF THIS MONEY WILL BE FOR YOU AS A FOREIGN PARTNER IN
RESPECT OF PROVIDING AN ACCOUNT WHILE 10% WILL TAKE OF ANY EXPENSES THAT
MIGHT BE INCURED IN THE PROCEES OF SUCCEEDING THE TRANSFER AND THE REST WILL
BE FOR ME AND MY INSIDER IN THE BANK.
THEREAFTER I WILL VISIT YOUR COUNTRY FOR DISBURSEMENT
I WILL NOT FAIL TO BRING TO YOUR NOTICE THAT THIS BUSINESS IS HITCH FREE AND
THAT YOU SHOULD NOT ENTERTAIN ANY FEAR AS THE WHOLE REQUIRED ARRANGEMENT AS
BEEN PERFECTED FOR THE TRANSFER.
FURTHERMORE,AS HIS PERSONAL ASSISTANCE,I HAD ACCESS TO SOME VITAL DOCUMENTS
THAT WILL FACILITATE THE TRANSFER OF THE FUND.HOWEVER,MY PARTNER IN THE BANK
WILL ALSO BE THERE TO FURNISH ME WITH OTHER VITAL INFORMATION.
HOPING TO HEAR FROM YOU.
BEST REGARDS,
MR Fred Adams
