PRIVATE AND URGENT.
I am contacting you on 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 all will be well
at the end of the day. We decided to contact you due to the urgency of this
transaction.
PROPOSITION:
We discovered an abandoned sum of US$.10.000,000.00 (ten million United States
dollars) in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customers. I would
respectfully like to intimate you with certain facts that I believe would be
of interest to you re garding our late costumer- who died along with his
entire family in plane crash of 31st October,1999 on
board the Egyptian Airline 990 alonside other passengers.

Since his death, none of his next-of-kin or relations has come forward to lay
claims for this money as the heir.In the field of private banking, opening an
account with us means no one will know of its existence,accounts are rarely
held under a name; depositors use numbers and codes to make the accounts
anonymous. This bank also gives the choice to depositors of having their mail
sent to them or held at the bank itself, ensuring that there are no traces of
the account.Private banking clients apart from not nominating next of kin also
usually in most cases leave Wills in our care.
We cannot release the funds 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, we 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 us for
the funds (US$.10 .000,000.00) to be released in your favour as the
beneficiary's next-of-kin. It may interest you to know that we have secured
from the probate an order of madamus to locate any of deceased beneficiaries.
I discovered this amount from the manifest recently and secured a payment
authority to authenticate the transfer business Please acknowledge receipt of
this message in acceptance of our mutual endeavour by furnishing me with the
following;
1. Name and address (to be used as the Beneficiary)
2. Direct Telephone and fax numbers (to contact you)
These requirements will enable us file a letter of claim to the appropriate
departments for necessary approvals in your favour before the transfer can be
made. We shall be compensating you with 20% which is TWO MILLION DOLLARS on
final conclusion of this project,we will also donate part of this funds which
is ($4,000.000.00 dollas) to the the Tsunami disaster relief funds in
souhteast Asia. while THE REST shall be for us. Your share stays while the
rest shall be for us for investment purposes. If this proposal is acceptable
by you, do not take undue advantage of the trust we have bestowed on you.
Please reply urgently by e-mail to george_anderson1@email.ro as we expect that
the transaction will not take more than five working days.
Your urgent reply is highly anticipated.
Regards,
Mr GEORGE ANDERSON
