Subject: Compliments of the season.
THE DESK OF:
DR. MOHAMMED FARID
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR,
CLAIMS AND INDEMNITY,
NAT WEST BANK PLC.
Good Day Sir/Ma,
I am DR. MOHAMMED FARID, the Executive Director in charge of claims and indemnity of NATWEST BANK PLC.
I write with great pleasure on behalf of the Late Mr. Morris Thompson, an American who unfortunately lost his life in the bomb blast IN LONDON, UK, 17 JULY 2005 including his wife (Thelma Thompson) and their only daughter (Sheryl Thompson) when they were heading to Liverpool for a vacation. Since we got the information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin or relatives to come over and claim his inheritance worth about E19.3M (Nineteen Million, Three Hundred Thousand British Pounds Sterling), which he deposited with us before his death.
We cannot release the money unless somebody applies for it as the next of kin or relation as stipulated in our Banking Constitution, so since the day we got the information about his death, we have made several enquiries to his embassy to locate any of his extended families or relatives, since we were left with only the necessary documentations that will stand as an evidence of claim to his inheritance, but all effort have proved abortive so far as we learnt that his supposed next of kin being his only daughter (Sheryl Thompson) died along with him in the bomb blast IN LONDON, UK,17 JULY, 2005 leaving nobody with the knowledge of his inheritance.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I, the Executive Director in charge of claims and indemnity decided to seek for your consent if only you would be willing to present yourself as a distant cousin to the deceased person, so that the proceeds of his account valued at about E19.3M (Nineteen Million, Three Hundred Thousand British Pounds Sterling) can be routed into your bank account as designated there in your country, since nobody is coming for it and we don’t want this money to go back into Government’s treasury as unclaimed Bill. Hence, the banking law and guidelines here stipulates that such money after five months, be transferred into banking treasury as unclaimed funds.
After the inheritance has been transferred into your Bank account, I would have to come over to your country and collect my own share of the money or a bank-to-bank transaction shall be used to remit my own share of the money into a designated Bank Account here in my country.
I guarantee you that this Business will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law and be further informed that everyone’s interest and security had been considered before you were contacted, so be rest assured and feel free to go into this transaction with us.
As per the mode of sharing, we have agreed that 30% of this inheritance will be for you as the foreign partner, 60% will be for me, while the remaining 10% will be mapped out for all the expenses that will be incurred throughout the duration of this transaction. Hence, all we require from you is your honest co-operation and faithfulness to
enable us work as one family. Please in the event of your inability to handle this transaction,
Kindly inform us A.S.A.P so that we could look for another reliable and trustworthy person who can assist in this respect.
Awaiting your urgent and favorable response.
Regards,
DR. MOHAMMED FARID
(Executive Director in charge of claims and indemnity)
Nat west Bank Plc.
