Good day,
I am contacting you because of a business concerning a huge sum of money from a deceased deposit in the Security and Finance company where I work here in Netherlands. Though I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make any one apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you that all will be well at the end of the day. I actually decided to contact
you due to the urgency of this transaction.
PROPOSITION;
I discovered an abandoned deposit in my company owned by one of our foreign customers who died along with his entire family as a result of an automobile crash. He actually deposited
this funds amounting to US$12,000,000.00 (Twelve million united states dollars),for safe keeping in my company here in Amsterdam. Company file records shows that the funds was actually for a project our late costumer wanted to start in the near future (a multi million Dollar steel plant in Florida, USA),before his sudden and untimely death. As such since his death none of his relations or next-of-kin has come forward to lay claims for this property as the heir, this is the basically the reason why I have contacted you. My company cannot release the property unless someone applies for claim as the next-of-kin to the deceased as indicated in
our operating 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 to be released in your favor as the Beneficiary’s next of kin. It may interest you to know that I have secured from the probate an order of mandamus to locate any of deceased beneficiaries . Please acknowledge receipt of this message in acceptance of our mutual business, endeavor by furnishing me with the following;
1. Beneficiary full name and address
2. Direct Telephone and fax numbers
3. Occupation and position
4. Nationality and Date of birth
5. Marital status
6. Gender/sex
These requirements will enable me file letter of claim to the appropriate departments for necessary approvals in your favor before you can personally appear for the claim. I shall be compensating you with 30% of the total money while 10% will be for any expenses incurred the rest will be mine on final conclusion of this project. Please note that your share stays while the rest shall before me for investment purposes.
If this proposal is acceptable by you, do not take undue advantage of the trust I have bestowed in you, I await your urgent mail. Please reply by email:danvictorina@netscape.net
Best Regards,
Daniel Victorina
