Subject: BANK TRANSFER ASSISTANCE
MR.JAMES GALLAGHER
AMARILLO NATIONAL BANK
P.O. Box 1 Amarillo, Texas 79105
USA
Dear Sir,
Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr.James Gallagher
credit officer of the AMARILLO NATIONAL BANK LTD. I have a concealed business
suggestion for you. Before the death of the Macedionia president Mr Boris
Trajkovski in a plane crash which will there in after be called our client,whom
was also a business man made a numbered fixed deposit for 28 calendar months,
with a value of Ten millions Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars
only in my branch. Upon maturity several notice was sent to him before he
died in a plane crash. Again before his death, another notification was
sent and still no
response came from him. We later found out that the president had died in
a plane crash and his family is totally unware of this deposit,this was
because the deposit he paid into our bank was meant to be the fund set aside
to settle out military pensioners arreas in macedonia.
After further investigation it was also discovered that our client did not
declare any next of kin in his official papers including the paper work
of his bank deposit. And he also confided in me the last time he was at
my office that no one except me knew of his deposit in my bank. So, Ten
millions Five
Hundred Thousand United State Dollars is still lying in my bank and no one
will ever come forward to claim it. What bothers me most is that according
to the to the laws of my country at 3 years after expiration the funds will
revert to the ownership of the united states Government if nobody applies
to claim the
funds. Against this backdrop, my suggestion to you is that I
will like you as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to our client so
that you will be able to receive his funds.
WHAT IS TO BE DONE:
I want you to know that I have had everything planned out so that we shall
come out successful. I have contacted an attorney that will prepare the
necessary document that will back you up as the next of kin to our client,all
that is required from you at
this stage is for you to provide me with your Full Names and Address so
that the attorney can commence his job.After you have been made the next
of kin, the attorney will also fill in for claims on your behalf and secure
the necessary approval and letter of probate in your favor for the move
of the funds to an account that will be provided by you. There is no risk
involved at all in the matter as we are going adopt a legalized method and
the attorney will prepare all the necessary documents. Please
endeavor to observe utmost discretion in all matters concerning this issue.
Once the funds have been transferred to your nominated bank account we shall
share in the ratio of 70% for me, 25% for you and 5% for any expenses incurred
during the course of this peration. Should you be interested please send
me your private
phone and fax numbers for easy communication and I will provide you with
more details of this operation.
Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Mr. James Gallagher
