Subject: Good Day
From: Phil Hodkinson
Group Finance Director,Treasury & Insight.
HBOS United Kingdom.
Good day,
I am Mr. Phil Hodkinson, the Group Finance Director, Treasury & Insight HBOS
United Kingdom. I personally discovered a dormant account with a total sum
of $75,000,000.00 [SEVENTY FIVE MILLION UNITED STATE DOLLARS] during our
Bank's Annual Year Account Auditing.
The owner of this dormant account died on 4th Jan 2002. Since the death of
the deceased, nobody has operated in this account till date. Moreover, this
account has NO BENEFICIARY attached to it.Definitely, this fund will be
confiscated by our BANKING CODE OF ETHICS if it remains dormant for a period
of [5] years without any claims.
In this regard, I earnestly need your full cooperation in transferring this
dormant fund out of our bank to avoid confiscating this fund.
First, I will transfer $5,000,000.00 to any valid foreign account you will
nominate{EVEN AN EMPTY ACCOUNT}, upon a successful transfer without any
disappointment from your side; I will then fly to meet you in your country
for sharing, thereafter we jointly transfer the remaining balance of
$70,000,000.00 for magnitude investments from your country.
If you are willing to cooperate in this project, Call me for more details.
Yours truly,
Mr.Phil Hodkinson
