Subject: RE: Lets work together

Dear Friend,

I will start by introducing myself to you and the nature of my work before going further to explain in details about this business proposal.

My name is Michael Gillian and I am a Manager of a private security firm. We also run a safe deposit vault and becaause we deal strictly in cash we have in excess of £100m at all times. Now I am not contacting you so we rob the place. Far from that. We deal with high networth individuals who bring money to us they do not want their family, wives, partners or whom so ever to know they have such money. We never ask any questions. we also move money to any destination without falling foul to not commiting any act of money laundering. we are also regulated by financial regulators so everything is above board. The clients that come can afford to pay the fee to have the money transfered to them in cash and also pay the storage fee acrued before shipment.

That is the kind of establishment I work in. Now the reason I contacted you is because it has come to my attention that an individual has since passed away leaving the sum the of $26m in cash. I discovered this a while ago and conducted my own investigation when I discovered he did not name a next of kin in his papers with us and no one has ever come forward to claim this money. I have been in much similar positions where I discovered unclaimed funds and had to sign it over to the government as unclaimed funds. This time it is different.

I have run into a lot of financial problems over the past few months and I see this as a means to solve my problems. Again with the economic situation I strongly believe I need this money more than the government. I know how much I have signed over to the government as unclaimed funds over the years and coupled with what the other financial institutions inthe country have remitted to the government as unclaimed funds there is no way it would not run into the trillions of pounds. People die and leave vast fortunes unclaimed.

It falls on me to inform the next of kin or any beneficairy to the estate of the deceased and also make an entry else I will again have to sign the money over. Right now I alone know that there is no next of kin based on my investigation. if the man had any family they are not aware such money exists. I only discovered the man had passed away because he had stopped paying his demurrage charges regularly and it was growing astronimically in proportion and after unsucessful attempts to contact him on his personal number provided I then contacted his place of business and learnt he had passed away.

I want to put you forward as the beneficiary. If you agree to this i do not mind spliting the money two ways. to be able to do this, i will pay a lawyer to prepare a Will and backdate it to purport it was made by the deceased before he passed away. A probate would then be obtained to give the Will its legal footing and make you the legal beneficairy and with the probate you can walk in and claim the funds. As an insider and one with experience in this, I can assure you that if you follow my instructions we will have no problems. I will ofcourse remain annoymous and no one must know of my involvement in this. As my partner there will ofcourse be financial obligations on your part. Travel expenses for you to come, administrative charges and demurrage fees. Because we shall work together, I can use my position to reduce the demurrage fee but bearing in mind we have $26m in our custody my employers may want to play hardball to ensure 80% of the demurrage charges are met but I will see what i can do to reduce tha

I will pay all legal costs.

If you agree to this please send me your;
Full names:

Telephone number.

Your name and address would be passed on to the lawyer to perpare the legal papers.

I look forward to your anticipated co-operation.
Michael
