Subject: GOOD DAY (I AM DAVID CLARK FROM LONDON)
ATTN:
Dear Sir,
My name is David C . Klark, the Chief Security officer of Global Security Company United Kingdom. It is true that we do not know each other but I assure you that after this profitable financial business with you we shall become the best of friends in life.
After the terrorist attack on September 11th 2001 it was discovered that one of our customers Mr. Brown Roy an American Business merchant was involved in the bomb blast incident. Before his death he deposited a consignment (money) worth of US $18,000,000.00 (Eighteen million Dollars) in our company. Since we discovered his death several attempts has be made to get his next of kin or any member of his family to make claims of the consignment but all effort proved abortive as the demurrage of the consignment has been increasing on daily basis.
The board of directors and management of the security company will meet at the end of the year annual meeting and if this ghost consignment is been discovered the company will now inherit it as a left over money hence nobody is coming forward to claim it on behalf of late Mr. Brown Roy
On this view, I and my colleagues in this branch of the company have decided to seek for you assistance to come forward and receive the consignment as late Mr. Roy’s next of kin on our behalf since will cannot make this claim as members and the staffs of the Security Company. If you are interested to participate in this risk free and easy business we shall provide you with every necessary documents that will back you up as late Mr. Roy’s next of kin. While you easily come down here and receive the consignment. We have promise to give you 15% of the total money at the end of the business and we shall solidly be by your side till the end of the transaction.
I want you to consider this business as an urgent matter and a secret business always. Please you are advise to reply immediately and include your telephone and fax numbers with your company’s postal address to enable me to obtain the necessary documents and send it to you. More detail information will be given to you as soon as you reply this letter.
Thanking you for your concern and understanding.
Yours faithfully,
Mr. David C .Klark
