Subject: REVERT TO ME ON THIS ISSUE
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 (AIB) 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 High Court
Probate Division 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. Be sure
to reach me on my private fastermail account:mac2ger@fastermail.com
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
