MR. JOHN TRETHOWAN
NORTHERN BANK
FORESTSIDE SHOPPING CENTER
UPPER GALLWALY
BELFAST, BT8 6FX
NORTHERN IRELAND.
Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr. John
Trethowan, the Executive Manager Northern Bank,
Forestside Branch (Northern Ireland). I have a
concealed business suggestion for you. Our
client Mr. Vyacheslav Scherbakov who was a deputy
director with the YUKOS Oil Company in Russia
made a numbered fixed deposit for 18 calendar
months, with a value of Thirty Nine millions
Five Hundred Thousand Pounds in my branch.
Upon maturity several notice was sent to him.
Again late last year another notification was
sent and still no response came from him. We
later find out that Mr. Vyacheslav Scherbakov
was shot dead in his home by unknown gun men.
After further investigation it was also discovered
that Mr. Vyacheslav Scherbakov did not declare
any next of kin in his official papers
including the paper work of his bank deposit.
And he also earlier confided in me the
last time he was at my office that no one
except me knew of his deposit in my bank.
He even instructed I kept it very confidential.
So, Thirty Nine millions Five Hundred Thousand
Pounds is still lying in my bank and no one
will ever come forward to claim it.
What bothers me most is that according to the
new laws of my country at the expiration of
three years of maturity the funds will revert to the
ownership of the Northern Ireland Government without
future compensation if nobody applies to claim
the funds. Against this backdrop, my suggestion
to you is that I will like you as a foreigner to
stand as the next of kin to Mr. Vyacheslav
Scherbakov so that you will be able to receive
his funds. Because I donot want the fund go into
the hands of corrupt government officials.
WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE:
I want you to know that I have had everything
planned out so that we shall come out successful.
I have contacted an attorney that will prepare
the necessary document that will back you up
as the next of kin to Mr. Vyacheslav Scherbakov,
all that is required from you at this stage is
for you to provide me with your Full Names and
Address so that the attorney can commence his job.
After you have been made the next of kin, the
attorney will also file in for claims on your
behalf and secure the necessary approval and letter
of probate in your favor for the move of the funds.
There is no risk involved at all in the matter as
we are going to adopt a legalised method and the
Attorney will prepare all the necessary documents.
Please endeavor to observe utmost discretion in
all matters concerning this issue.
Once the funds have been transferreD, we shall
share in the ratio of 60% for me, 35% for you and 5%
for any expenses incurred during the course of this
operation. Should you be interested please send me
contact information; Name, Address, your private
phone and fax numbers for easy communication,
you can write me via my private box
(johnytreth@hotmail.com) and i will provide
you with more details of this operation.
Your earliest response to this letter will be
appreciated.
Kind Regards
Mr. John Trethowan
