Dear Friend,
Enquiry on partnership.
My name is Richard Ferdinand, I am a senior banker in a bank here in the
United Kingdom.
I am contacting you of a business transfer, of a huge sum of money from
a deceased account. Though I know that a transaction of this magnitude will
make any one
apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you that everything documents
that will bring about the success of this transaction would be provided,
and all will be well at the end of the day. I decided to contact you due
to the urgency of this transaction.
The deceased person who died Mr. Neal Walker died in an air crash along
with his wife on the 31st October 1999 in an Egyptian airline 990 with other
passengers on board was an American Oil
consultant/contractor with the Chinese Solid Minerals Corporation. You can
confirm his death from the website below which was published by BBC WORLD
NEWS.
WEBSITE.
<http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/502503.stm>
Since his death, none of his next-of-kin are alive to make claims for this
money as his heir, because they all died in the same accident himself and
his wife (May their soul rest in peace). We cannot release the fund from
his account unless someone applies for claim as the next-of-kin to the deceased
as indicated in our banking guidelines.
Upon this discovery, I now seek your permission to have you stand as a next
of kin to the deceased, as all documentations will be carefully worked to
make you the beneficiary to the funds #4,300 000 00 GBP (Four million three
hundred thousand Great British pounds sterling) which will be released in
your favor as the next of kin. Because after six years the money will be
called back to the bank treasury as unclaimed bills and the money shared
amongst the directors of the bank. so it is on this note I decided to seek
for whom his name shall be used as the next of kin/beneficiary to this funds
rather than allow the bank directors to share this money amongst themselves
at the end of the year.
It may interest you to know that we have secured from the probate an order
of mandamus to locate any of the deceased beneficiaries. Please acknowledge
receipt of this message in acceptance of our mutual business endeavor by
furnishing me with the following information if you are interested.
1. Full names and address,
2. Direct Telephone and fax numbers.
For our personal contact and mutual trust in each other.
I shall be compensating you with 35% of the above amount on final conclusion
of this project for your assistance, while we will keep aside 5% for expenses
that may occur in the process of this transaction from both parties, which
will be refunded at the end of the transaction, the balance 60% shall be
for me for investment purposes, because I intend to retire after the conclusion
of this transaction and relocate to your country of residence. If this proposal
is acceptable by you, please endeavor to contact me immediately. Do not
take undue advantage of the trust I have bestowed in you, I await your urgent
mail to my personal email address: (richferdinand1@zipmail.com.br or richferdinand1@yahoo.co.uk)
Best regards,
Mr. Richard Ferdinand.
