Dear Sir/Madam,
RE: Help Needed For Mutual Investment Relationship.
I feel quite safe dealing with you in this business proposition having
gone through business ensure Hitch-Free at all time. Though, this
medium (Internet) has been greatly safed for privecy in doing this
beneficial transaction. I choose to reach you through it because it still
remains the fastest, surest and most secured medium of communication.
However, this correspondence is purely private, and it should be treated
as
such.
I work in GUARANTY TRUST BANK PLC. as the HEAD of TREASURY/ CREDIT and
my Mission of contacting you is based on Trust and Faithfulness that
will be attached to this profitable Investment. The Management and the
Legal department of our BANK (GUARANTY TRUST BANK PLC. Victoria Island)
in a recent meeting, recommended that the account of MR. ROBERT
FINKELSTEIN, who was one of my branch depositor, should be declared Dormant
and
confisticated the depositor's fund to the Bank Treasury according to
the Banking procedure and Financial law. He is a foreigner based in
Victoria-Island, unfortunately He is late as he was amongst those that was
Killed in the recent WARRI CRISIS as you can confirm through this
website http://www.worldpress.org/Africa/1083.cfm
He is an account holder in my branch, he owns a dollar account with the
sum of US$18.5M (Eighteen Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States
Dollars Only) deposited in the account. In fact it happened that since
his death, the next of kin of the dollar account holder (the
brother/relations) no one has not show up for the claim. This is where I
want you
to come in. I want you to come in as the relation of the deceased, I
will give you necessary Assistance and perfect the Legal Authentication
documents which will officially recognise you as a relation to the
deceased.
Then, all the procured documents will be sent to the Payment Authority
and they will automatically contact you for the claims as the Next of
Kin to Late MR. ROBERT FINKELSTEIN. I shall guide you with all diligence
and legal processes to ensure the smooth perfect success of this
transaction and the Funds (US$18.5Million) must be transfered into your
own
bank account in your country as the Officially approved beneficiary.
Upon my personal finding on this matter, I kept this information secret
to myself until now that I am contacting you. In view of the fact that
the deceased customer is a foreigner (from a different country), it is
Officially important for the involvement of a foreigner who will pose
as a next-of-kin. I will use my exalted position in this Bank to present
you as his Next of Kin as no body will doubt it once all the required
documents are officially legalized in your favour because i know hia
personal lawyer here. Finally, before I made up my mind to contact you I
have concluded every arrangement to ensure that you receive the funds
successfully as the next of kin within four (3-4) working days only.
I will give you more information as soon as you indicate your Interest
/willingness to assist in this transaction. I will use my positions to
get all internal documentations to back up the claims. The whole
Procedures will last only 24hours to obtain the required
documents-certificates and get the fund retrieved successfully Without trace
even in
future. Please i need the following to commence:
1. YOUR FULL NAME /PHONE AND FAX NUMBER
3. HOME ADDRESS /COMPANY'S NAME AND ADDRESS.
4. YOUR PERSONAL PHOTO FOR ME TO KNOW YOU, AND I WILL SEND YOU MY
PICTURE ON MY RECEIPT OF THE YOUR INFORMATIONS.
Take note; after successful conclussion of this transaction, we shall
share the money 40-60 (40% for you and 60% for me). I plead you to reply
immediately whether interested or not, but let me hear from you very
fast.PLEASE RESPOND TO MY EMAIL; johnpeter72003@myway.com
Yours truly,
Dr. John Peter,
HEAD; Treasury/ Credit Unit
GUARANTY TRUST BANK PLC.
