Subject: please get back to me
Good day to you,
My name is Jeffrey Rice,I am the credit manager with
a bank here in the united kindom.I am contacting you
in respect of a transfer of a huge sum of money from
the account of a deceased client.Though i know that a
transaction of this nature and magnitude will make any
one apprehensive and worried,i am assuring you that
everything has been taking care of,and you have nothing
to fear at all and i would be very clad if would allow me to
bring you a clearer picture of what is on ground,what we
intend to do and how we intend to do it.I decided to contact
you due to the secrecy,confidentiality and urgency of this
transaction.
PROPOSITION:
I was the account officer of a foreigner,named Gerald Welsh
who died in an air crash along with his wife on the 31st,
october 1999 in an Egyptian airline boeing 990 with other
passengers on board.You can confirm this from the website
which was aired by the BBC WORLD NEWS:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/502503.stm
Since his death,none of his relatives or associates have
come forward to lay claims to his funds as next-of-kin,and
on my own i have made concerted effort to locate any of his
relatives but all prove abortive,which makes me believe that
nobody of his knows that he was operating this foreign account
with my bank.Based on the ethics and policy of the bank,this
fund we be declared as unclaimed funds and taken to the treasury
of the bank as capital base of the bank,because already the account
as been taggeddormant because it has exceeded the normal
functional number of years.
we cannot released the fund from the account unless somebody applies
for it or lays claim as the next-of-kin to the deceased as indicated as
guidelines.Upon this discovery,i now seek your permission and
assistance to present you and have you stand as the next-of-kin to
the deceased,so that the funds can be released to you,as all
documentations we be carefully worked out by me for the funds
(US$15,000.000.00)to be released in your favour as the beneficiary's
next-of-kin,if not the members of the board of directors will
utilise it for their personal aggrndisement.Because after four
yearsas this is the fifth year going 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/
beeneficiary to this funds rather allow the bank directors to
share this money amongst themselves at the end of the year.
It may interest you to know that i have secured from the
probate commission an order of mandamus to locate any
of the deceased beneficiaries.
please acknowledge receipt of this message in acceptance
of our mutual business endeavour by furnishing me with the
following information if you are interested.
1.A beneficairy name...In order for me to prepare the
documents for the transfer of the funds in your name.
2.Direct Telephone and fax numbers...For personal
contact and for easy communication between both of us.
Upon your acceptance i shall send you my identity for
more confidentiality and trust in each other as i shall trust you
not to elope with this funds when it finally gets to your account.
I shall be compensating you with Three Million dollas
($3,000.000.00)on final conclusion of this project with your
assistance.
If this proposal is acceptable by you,please endeavour to contact
me immediately.Do not take undue advantage of the trust i have
bestowed in you,I await ur urgent response via my private email
address:(jeffrey6900@msn.com)

Mr Jeffrey Rice.
