Greetings,
I am Dr.John Plainville the director in charge of auditing and accounting section with a financial institute here in London, United Kingdom with due respect and regard. I have decided to contact you on a business transaction that will be very beneficial to both of us at the end of the transaction.During our investigation and auditing in this bank, my department came across a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased customer who died on May 2nd, 2004 in a ghastly car accident with his entire family while on vacation in Madrid Spain, and the fund has been dormant in his account with this Bank without any claim of the fund in our custody either from his family or relation before our discovery of the money even as up till now.The said amount is U.S $10M (Ten Million United States Dollars). As it may interest you to know, I got your impressive information through yahoo search on foreign business relations here in London.
Meanwhile all the whole arrangement to put claim over this fund as the bona fide next of kin to the deceased, to get the required approval and transfer this money to a foreign account has been put in place, directives and needed information will be relayed to you as soon as you indicate your interest and willingness to assist me and also benefit yourself to this great business opportunity.In fact I could have done this deal alone but because of my position in this country as a civil servant (A Banker), we are not allowed to operate a foreign account and would eventually raise an eye brow on my side during the time of transfer because I work in this bank.This is the actual reason why it will require a second party or fellow who will forward claims as the next of kin with affidavit of trust of oath to the Bank and also present a foreign account where he will need the money to be re-transferred into on his request as it may be after due verification and clarification by the correspondent branch of the bank where the whole money will be remitted from to your own designation bank account.I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk free. On smooth conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to 40% of the total sum as gratification, while 60% will be for me.
Please, you have been advised to keep "top secret" as I am still in service and intend to retire from service after we conclude this deal.
I will be monitoring the whole situation here in this bank until you confirm the money in your account and ask me to come down to your country for subsequent sharing of the fund according to percentages previously indicated and further investment, either in your country or any country you advice us to invest in.
All other necessary vital information will be sent to you when I hear from you,I will be expecting to hear from you soonest.If you are really interested please reply to the below address with the following details to proceed:
