Subject: ATTENTION MY DEAR
ATTENTION MY DEAR
Before I start, I must first apologize for this unsolicited
mail to you. I am aware that this is certainly an
unconventional approach to establishing a relationship, but
you will realize the reason for my action after going
through this mail.
My Name is Johnson Brown, the Auditor General of CRAWFORD
TRUST FINANCE LONDON and also the account officer of a
cooperate account to MICHAEL BROOK who is an industrialist.
The account number #: 00234756785. in CRAWFORD TRUST
FINANCE LONDON were I am working.
During the course of auditing I discovered a floating fund,
United States Dollars $13 Million in this account and since
year 1999 nobody has operated on this account again. After
going through some old files about MICHAEL BROOK accounts
with our bank I discovered he is died and other of his
personal account has been closed down for operation living
this Cooperate Account #: 00234756785 as it was not listed
in the copy of the will I read from the old file.
I am soliciting your interest to present you as the
managing directors of Mr. Michael Brook?s company (B-ROCKS
INDUSTRY) and therefore make claim for the fund and
preventing it from being frozen or misappropriated by the
bank. I will arrange the documentation in your favor and
thereby present you as the only available nearest relative
and by so doing authorize the bank to pay the fund into
your account. I need you therefore to provide me with your:
(A) YOUR COMPLETE NAME AS IT IS BEING WRITTEN IN YOUR ID.
(B) YOUR PHONE NUMBERS (CELL, HOME, OFFICE PHONE AND YOUR
FAX NUMBER)
(C) AND YOUR PHYSICAL DIRECT CONTACT ADDRESS.
I may in due time require any of your form of
identification.
On hearing from you I will use my position and influence in
this bank to obtain all legal approvals for onward transfer
of this money to your account with appropriate clearance
from all relevant ministries and foreign exchange
departments.
At conclusion of this transaction which I believe to last
for just 10 working days I will destroy all documents of
the transaction immediately we receive the money in your
account leaving no trace of the money to any place. After
that I will apply for annual leave to get visa immediately
to enable me travel to your country for sharing of the
money. And I would also be suggesting the sharing ration of
45% to you and 55% for me.
Urgently reply me through my private e-mail
.johnson_brown00@yahoo.com address for security reasons
Yours Sincerely
Johnson Brown
