Compliment of the season, I am Mrs. Tricia Belton credit officer the Bank of Bermuda (Isle of Man) Limited.
Before the Tsunami crisis one of our very good customer Mr. Erwin Robson who was a business man made a number of fixed deposit for 14 calendar months, with a value of Sixty Two millions Seven Hundred Thousand United State Dollars($62.7 million USD) in my branch. Upon maturity early this year there was an arrangement made already to send the money to china
because of the oncoming policy. Only to find out that Mr Erwin and his wife died in khao lak beach during the Tsunami in Thailand early this year.
After further investigation it was also discovered that Mr. Erwin Robson did not declare next of kin in his official papers including the paper work of his bank deposit. He confided in me as his account manager that no one except me knew of his deposit in my bank. Now, Sixty Two millions Seven Hundred Thousand United State Dollars is lying in my bank and no one will ever come forward to claim it. What bothers me most is that according to the laws of my country at the expiration of a years the funds will revert to the ownership to the Isle of Man Government if nobody applies to claim the funds. My suggestion to you is that I will like you to stand as the next of kin to Mr. Erwin Robson so that you will be able to receive his funds.
I want you to know that every arrangement have been perfected to ensure a successful transaction. I have an attorney ready to prepare the necessary document that will make you the legal next of kin to Mr. Erwin Robson , All that is required from you at this stage is for you to provide me with your Names and Address so that the attorney can commence his job. After you have been made the next of kin, the attorney will also fill in for claims on your behalf and secure the necessary approval for the movement of the funds to an offshore account that will be provided by you.
There is no risk involved at all in this matter as we are going to adopt a legal method and the attorney will prepare all the necessary documents to enable you receive the funds.
Should you be interested please send me your contact information’s names Telephone number to enable us discuss the sharing mode.
Your earliest response will be appreciated and you can contact me on this secured email:BeltonTrc@netscape.net
Kind Regards
Mrs. Tricia Belton
