Dear Friend,
This is a bank request so if you do not want in any case to assist, then never reply this letter because I believe in sincerity and also if you are involve in any criminal activities please never you try to read or reply this message because it is not meant for you, I am Mr. Merrick Dean an American Citizen, credit control manager in Central Bank Of Cyprus.
My objectives are to have a solid investment with you personally. I decided to contact you after due thought in respect of a transfer of a huge sum of money from a deceased account. The deceased person is Mr.Frederick M Wong, he died in an air crash along with his family on the 31st October 1999 in an Egyptian airline 990 with other passengers on board was an American Oil Consultant/contractor with the Chinese Solid Minerals Corporation. You can confirm his death from the BBC WORLD NEWS WEBSITE below:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/502503.stm
since his death, none of his family has come up for this money as his heir, because they all died in the same accident. I want to seek your permission to have you stand as the next of kin to the deceased, all documentations will be carefully worked out to make you the true beneficiary of the sum of Twenty Eight million Five hundred thousand Dollars ($28,500 000.00). These funds will be released in your favour as the next of kin if you will cooperate with me in one accord. The money will be declared as unclaimed and the money transferred to the bank treasury account where the money will be shared amongst the directors of the bank at the end of the banking year. If then you are afraid of handling this fund then let us know before committing us in something that will ruin our profession, Everything here is legal only that matters must be kept confidential. It is on this note I decided to seek for your permission to stand as the next of kin/beneficiary to the deceased instead
of allowing the bank directors to share this money mongst themselves at the end of the year. It may interest you to know hat we have secured from the probate an order of mandamus to locate any of the deceased relatives.
The funds shall be shared as, 35% for you and 60% for me. Then the remaining 5% will be maped out for any kind of expenses made by both parties on the process of the transaction. I intend to retire after the conclusion of this transaction and relocate to your country. Do not take undue advantage of the trust I have bestowed in you. I want you to be focus and face this business transaction with all seriousness that it deserves. Please provide me the following:
