Dear,
Greetings,I am Mrs Juliet Williams,a Manager at The BARCLEYS Bank Of
LONDON.However I get your contact through the International web directory.
Recently we discovered a Dormant Account with a huge amount of Money
Valued USD14,000,000.00 (Fourteen Million Dollars only)that belongs to one
of
our late Customer who died in a plane crash .During our investigation and
auditing
in this bank, my department came across a very huge sum of money belonging
to
MOHAMED KAMAL YASSER who died along with his wife and his Two sons 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 to
this development.
The Banking law here stipulates that if such money remains unclaimed
for Six years, it will be forfeited to the Bank Treasury as an unclaimed
bill.
It is only a foreigner that can stand as a next of kin and It is upon
this discovery that I decided to contact you to collaborate with you to pull
out this dormant fund.In order to avert this negative development, I on
behalf of my trusted colleagues now seek your permission to have you stand
in
as next of kin to Our late Customer so that the fund will be released and
paid into your account as the beneficiary? now that the bank is
still expecting a next of kin or relative of the deceased,MOHAMED KAMAL
YASSER .www.cnn.com/us/9911/02/egyptair990.list/index.html (please find
out from the web site About the crash).
Infact we could have done this deal alone but because of our position
in this country as civil servants, we are not allowed to operate a foreign
account and that would eventually raise an eye brow on our side during
the time of transfer since we still work in this bank, this is the actual
reason why we required a second party or fellow who will assist us forward
claims as the next of kin and also provide either an existing bank account
or
to set up a new Bank a/c immediately to receive this fund, even an empty
a/c can also serve for this purpose.
On smooth conclusion of this transaction,you will be entitled to 25% as
gratification for your assisting us, while 5%will be set aside to take
care of expenses on our both sides that may arise during the time of
transfer and also for telephone bills, and the remaining 70% will be for me
and my
partners.What I want from you is for you to act as the deceased next of
kin. I have in my possession, all the necessary Documents to successfully
accomplish the operation.Bear in mind that this proposal is 100% risk free.
Further Information will be given to you as soon as I receive your positive
response.
I suggest you get back to me as soon as possible via my priavate
E-mailbox(julietwilliam2@yahoo.com) stating your wish.
Best Regards.
Mrs Juliet William
