Subject: I await your urgent response.
My name is Dr Philip Carter, I am the credit manager of a Finance firm here in London (UK).
I am contacting you of a business transfer, of a huge sum of money from a deceased account in our bank. Though I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make any one apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you that everything has been taken care off, and all will be well if you are really honest with me.
I decided to contact you due to the urgency of this transaction. PROPOSITION; I am the account officer of a foreigner named Joyce Lake and her husband Ronald Lake who died in an air crash along with his wife on the January 31 in an Alaska airline Flight 261 with other passengers on board.
Since his death, none of his next-of-kin are alive to make claims for this money as his heir, because they all died in the same accident himself and his wife (May their soul rest in peace). We cannot release the fund from his account unless someone applies for claim as the next-of-kin to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines. Upon this discovery, I now seek your permission to have you stand as a next of kin to the deceased, as all documentations will be carefully worked out by me for the funds (US$12,600,000,00) to be released in your favor as the beneficiary's next of kin Because after four years the money will be called back to the bank treasury
as unclaimed bills and the money shared amongst the directors of the bank. so it is on this note i decided to seek for whom his name shall be used as the next of kin/beneficiary to this funds rather than allow the bank directors to share this money amongst themselves at the end of the year. It may interest you to know that we have secured from the probate an order of mandamus to locate any of the deceased beneficiaries.
Please acknowledge receipt of this message in acceptance of our mutual business endeavor by furnishing me with the following information if you are interested.
1.A Beneficiary name?.In order for me to prepare the document for transfer of the funds in your name.
2. Direct Telephone and fax numbers.For our personal contact and mutual trust in each other.
I shall be compensating you with five million five hundred thousand dollars($5,500,000,00) on final conclusion of this project for your assistance, while the balance $7,100,000 dollars shall be for me for investment purposes. Because I intend to retire after the conclusion of this transaction. If this proposal is acceptable by you, please endeavor to contact me immediately. Do not take undue advantage of the trust I have bestowed in you, I await your urgent response.
Regards and God bless you!
DR.Philip Carter
