Subject: NEXT OF KIN
I am George Green Esq, my client is one of the top Managers of Midland Bank
London Branch and his colleague in the same bank here in the United Kingdom
have an urgent and very confidential business proposition for you.
On June 6th, 2001, a Chinese business man, Mr. CHOW LIU, deposited in his
personal safety deposit vault currency valued at 17,500,000.00 (Seventeen
Million, Five Hundred Thousand British Pounds
Sterling) in my client's branch. Upon expiration of the period of leasehold
of his safety deposit vault Two years ago, my client sent a routine
notification to his forwarding address but got no reply.
Some months ago,a reminder was sent and finally it was discovered he had
passed away. On further investigation, it was discovered that he did not
leave a WILL and
all attempts to trace his next of kin were fruitless. Further investigations
revealed that Mr. CHOW LIU did not declare any next-of- kin in all his
official documents in my clients' bank.This sum of 17,500,000.00 is still
in the Vault which was opened and the keys changed upon the expiration of
the period of leasehold by my clients.Consequently, my proposal is that my
clients will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to Mr.
CHOW LIU. This is simple. I will like you to provide me immediately with
your full names and address so that by virtue of my position as an
attorney, I will prepare the necessary documents and
affidavits, which will put you in place as the next of kin.
I shall do the drafting and notarization of the WILL and obtain the
necessary documents and letter of probate/administration in your favor for
the shipment of the funds through a courrier company to you. The money will
be shipped by courier to you for us to share in the ratio of 80% for me and
my clients and 20% for you. I hope that is okay.There is no risk at all as
all he paperwork for this transaction will be done by me as an attorney and
the position of my client as the Branch Manager guarantees the successful
execution of this transaction. If you are interested, please reply
immediately via email. If on the other hand you are not interested please
disregard this mail and I will not contact you again.Upon your response, I
shall then provide you with my phone number, more details of the transaction
and the relevant documents that will help you understand.
Please observe utmost confidentiality and be rest assured that this
transaction would be most profitable for all of us.
Best regards,
George Green
Esq.
