UNITED KINGDOM.
transaction for trusted people only!!
My name is PAULINE TRACEY. I am a friend and a personal
councellor to a former credit manager and then the account officer of a
foreigner named Frederick M. Wong who died in an air crash along with
his wife on the 31st October 1999 in an Egyptian airline 990,with other
passengers on board. You can confirm this from the website below.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/world/americas/502503.stm
My friend resigned from the bank months ago because of
internal and
family problems,but before his resignaton he was
managing the deposit
account of the late Frederick M. Wong where he had
access to some vital
information as to how the funds will be paid to the
next of kin. Since his
death, none of his next-of-kin is alive to make claims
for this money
as his heir,because they all died in the same
accident, him and the
wife, Lilla C. Wong (May their soul rest in
peace).
The bank cannot release the funds from his account
unless someone
applies for the claim as the next-of-kin to the
deceased as indicated in
their banking guidelines. Upon this discovery, my
friend asked me to look
for a reliable person to stand as the next of kin
because he can not
handle this directly since he has worked in the bank,
I now seek your
permission to have you stand as a next of kin to the
deceased, as all
documentations will be carefully worked out by me and
my friend for the
funds valued
(US$15,000,000.00) to be released in your favour as
the beneficiary's
next of kin because after five years the money will be
called back to
the bank treasury as unclaimed bills and the money
shared among the
directors of the bank. So it is on this note that my
friend asked me 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. We also
intend to donate part of
our share of the funds to the tsunami victims in South
East Asia.
Please acknowledge receipt of this message in
acceptance to this noble
offer by furnishing me with the following information
if you are
interested.
1.A Beneficiary name and address in order for me to to
get a probate
for the transfer of the funds in your name.
2. Direct Telephone and fax numbers.For our personal
contact and mutual
discussion .
Upon your acceptance, I shall give you my direct
telephone number so
that we can discuss freely.We shall be compensating
you with four million
dollars (US$4 Million Dollars) on final conclusion of
this project for
your assistance, US$1 Million Dollars shall be for any
unforssen
expenses,while the remaining US$10 Million will be
shared between me and my
friend.
If this proposal is acceptable by you, please endeavor
to contact me
immediately, if not please disregard this email.
Please contact me through my alternative emailaddress:
