Subject: URGENT RESPONSE NEEDED.
Dear Sir/Madam,
Complement of the season to you.This mail will definitely be coming toyou
as a surprise, but I must crave your indulgence to introduce myself to you.
I am Mr.WILLIMAS JOHNSON, a Manager at Natwest Bank London, United Kindom.
However I got your contact through the International web directory. During
our recent investigation,reconciliation and auditing of the bank's account
my department discovered a dormant account with a huge amount of Money Valued
10,600,000.00 (TEN Million, six hundred thousand,Pounds Sterling Only)that
belongs to One of our late Customer MR. Schmuck,from Beverwijk,Netherlands,who
died with his family in a plane crash one years ago. So the fund has been
dormant in his account with my Bank without any claim of the fund in our
custody either from his Family or relation before Our discovery to this development.
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.
On behalf of my trusted colleagues we 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?s next of kin now that the
bank is still expecting a next of kin or relative of the deceased, MR. Schmuck.
I could have done this deal alone but because of my position in this country
as civil servants, we are not allowed to operate a foreign account and that
would eventuall raise an eye brow on my side during the time of transfer
since i still work in this bank,this is the actual reason why i required
a second party or fellow who will work with me forward claims as the next
of kin and also provide either an existingbank 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.
However, on smooth conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to
40% of the total fund, while 10% will be set aside to take care of expenses
on both sides that may arise during the time of transfer and also for telephone
bills, and the remaining 50% will be for me.
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 stating your wish. For confidentiality
please contact me on my personal email address;mrwilliams_johnson@hotmail.com
Best Regards,
Mr. WILLIMAS JOHNSON
Natwest Bank,London.
Bank,London
