INTERNATIONAL FINANCE CORPORATION.
12th Floor, Millbank Tower, 21-24, Millbank, London SW1P 4QP
Hello: SIR/MADAM
My name is GEORGE.H.PATRICKS Esq., a Senior Executive to the International Finance Corporation. I am writing in respect of a foreign Investment portfolio held at our treasury with accumulated interest valued at Ten million, Eight hundred and Twenty thousand United States Dollars ($10,820,000USD) owned and serviced by Cynthia Oti, an American citizen of Oakland California, who was an investment broker. She was host of a nightly radio show on investing with San Francisco radio station KSFO. She had treated herself to a weekend getaway in Puerto Vallarta where Flight 261 originated. She loved the music of Eric Clapton and collected expensive champagne. On the 31st January 2000, Cynthia Oti was involved in air-plane crash. All occupants of the Alaska Airlines Flight 261 unfortunate lost their lives. Read more about this on visiting this web-page: www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list <http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list>
I have made several inquiries to the United States Embassy to locate any of her extended relatives and this has been unsuccessful, I have also sent letters to her address in California but it was never answered. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track her last name over the Internet to locate any member of her family. In view of this I got your contact through a Google search on foreigners. Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 7 years now, I seek your consent to present you as the Next of Kin to the deceased since you are a foreign person and can receive the funds on my behalf so that the proceeds of this Investment portfolio(valued at $10,820,000USD) can be paid to you for us to share; 60% will be for me as the initiator of the deal and 40% to you as my foreign partner whom will receive the funds, or else the funds will get confiscated or declared unserviceable by some unscrupulous British officers at the IFC.
This is because the IFC constitution prohibits such Investment portfolio to last more than 8 years; therefore this is virtually the last chance on this. Your nationality and area of specialization does not matter, as all modalities will be modified and concluded to present you as the next of kin and consequently, the beneficiary of this Inheritance.
N.B:
Inheritance is not a crime all over the world, but may be a crime only when you do not follow the rules of the International Law of Inheritance. In this transaction we shall follow strictly all the rules of the International Law of Inheritance as I have secured all the necessary required documents from the appropriate authorities to prove her death and that the Inheritance funds thus is legitimate and genuine. I will log into the IFC treasury database via my official computer and key in your data as the Next of Kin to Cynthia Oti, this means that you have all rights to the funds and no law shall find you guilty both at local and International because the treasury blueprints will clearly state your data as the true beneficiary and next of kin, so this transaction is 100% risk and hitch free. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you and I from any breach of the law both at local and International levels.
Please note, I am the only one aware of this transaction in my office and I have all legal documents of my late customer locked up in my personal safe, I therefore want you to take this as top secret and very confidential. Please do not inform any third party about this so that we can successfully execute this transaction under a private and legitimate arrangement that will protect you and I from any breach of the law both at local and International levels. If you are ready to give me your full cooperation then confirm your interest by contacting me through my personal email: barr.patricks@hotmail.com. After then I will furnish you with an adequate detail of how you shall receive the funds on my behalf; I assure and promise you that this transaction will be executed and concluded legally as quickly as possible.
If you are interested, please write back promptly for I look forward to it.
Thanks and God Bless you.
