Subject: Re: Business Offer (Hedge Funds Financial Transaction)
Europe Offshore Security House
Hedge Funds Investment
Dear Friend,
I am Mr. Dennis Robert Makwe director of operations of a Financial House. I have a confidential business offer, which will be mutually beneficiary to both of us.
Before the U.S and Iraqi war our client name withheld for confidentiality reason made a numbered fixed deposit for 18 calendar months, with a value of U$30.5mil (Thirty Million Five Hundred
Thousand United State Dollars) only. Upon maturity several notice was sent to him, even during the war early last year.
Again after the war another notification was sent and still no response came from him. We later find out that our client together with his family have been killed during the war as a result of bomb blast that hit their home.
After further investigation on my client file, I discovered that he did not declare any next of kin in his official papers including the paper work of his bank deposit. And he also confided in me the last time he was at my office that no one except me knew of his deposit. As things stands the Thirty Million Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollar (U$30.5Mil) is still lying in my bank and no one will ever come forward to claim it.
What bothers me most is that according to the laws of this lands at the expiration of 5 years the funds will revert to the treasury department if nobody applies to claim the funds.
Against this backdrop, my suggestion to you is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to my late client so that you will be able to receive his funds.
WHAT IS TO BE DONE:
I want you to know that I have had everything planned out so that we shall come out successful. I have contacted an attorney that will prepare the necessary document that will back you up as the next of kin to my late client, all that is required from you at this stage is for you to provide me with your Full Names and Address so that the attorney can commence his job.
After you have been made the next of kin, the attorney will also fill in for claims on your behalf and secure the necessary approval and letter of probate in your favour for the move of the funds to an account that will be provided by you or the attorney can assist you to set up a new account for the funds to be deposited.
There is no risk involved at all as we are going to adopt a legalized method and the attorney will prepare all the necessary documents. Please endeavour to observe utmost discretion in all matters concerning this transaction.
Once the funds have been transferred to your nominated bank account we shall share in the ratio of 50% for me, 40% for you and 10% will be use to payoff the Attorney for his services and goodwill. Should you be interested please send me your full names and address for the necessary document. I will prefer we communicate with email for now until I am fully convince of your full cooperation and support.
And finally after that i shall provide you with more details of this operation.
Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Mr. Dennis Robert Makwe
