Dear Friend
Good day to you. I may have to trouble your sense of
personal achievement and reward for an opportunity properly
taken advantage of.
I work for Allied Irish Bank Plc here in Dublin,
Ireland. I am a relationship officer and one of my biggest customers was
Isam Mattar, a Lebanese, now deceased. He had a fixed time deposit with
my Bank which has
matured and remains unclaimed till now. It runs into
the value of 24 Million euro.
I knew him so well since he was one of my most
performing accounts.
However the account opening package of Isam Mattar
does not contain any next of kin and neither has it been possible to trace
any relative of Isam Mattar. My personal know of Isam Mattar and experience
in the banking
industry reveals that such monies remain recycling in
the monies of the bank until finally they may be dissipated as
unclaimed funds.A colleague of mine who works in the Legal Department,and
particularly in the Inheritance Unit has agreed with me that I clandestinely
look for someone who will assist us to have the money legally claimed and
moved out of our bank for our joint purpose. We are in house members and
have put in place effective measure to ensure that this works out smoothly.
We need you to front as the beneficiary of the estate of Isam
Mattar.
This is simple and will be done at our end. We will employ the services
of an external solicitor to help prepare
letters of probate which in your favour as the beneficiary of Isam?s investment.This
will be registered in our country?s Probate division of the High Court of
Dublin and then forwarded to our Bank and you will thus be given access
to the money as the
owner.
This is sure as we have put in measures to ensure that
this works without any hitch. Assurances are given you to this
effect, we have our job to protect and cannot afford to fail.
When you have safely secured same and moved the money
to your given account we shall then meet and have the booty shared.We have
decided that your share shall be 30% while we shall take home 35% each.
Kindly take note of this to avoid ant future dispute on how to distribute
the facility among us. I think this is an open show of magnanimity, we have
given too much concession and will not go a single euro beyond this.
If you are capable of putting your time and efforts
towards the actualization of this, kindly reach me and let us work together
to get achieved.
Please have every second thought and be sure if you
are interested before you contact me, don?t just contact me because of the
amount involved but please only do so if you know you are genuinely interested
and will give it the required commitment for the good of us all.
Have a very wonderful day.
Yours truly,
MacDonald Gerald.
