Hello,
I am Brian Smith(Mr) ,I am a manager with Midland Bank
London Branch here in the United Kingdom,I have an
urgent and very confidential business proposition for
you.
On June 6th, 2001, a Chinese business man, Mr. CHOW
LIU, deposited in his personal safety deposit vault
currency valued at (Fifteen Million British Pound
Sterling) in my branch.
Upon expiration of the period of leasehold of his
safety deposit vault Two years ago,i sent a routine
notification to his forwarding address
but got no reply,some months ago,a reminder was sent
and finally it was discovered he had passed away.
On further investigation,it was discovered that he did
not leave a WILL and all attempts to trace his next of
kin were fruitless,further investigations revealed
that Mr. CHOW LIU did not declare any next-of-
kin in all his official documents in my clients' bank.
This sum of Fifteen Million British Pound Sterling) is
still in the Vault which was opened and the keys
changed upon the expiration of the period of leasehold
by my late client.
Consequently,my proposal is that i will like you as a
foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to late Mr.
CHOW LIU,this is simple,i will
like you to provide me immediately with your full
names and address so that by virtue of my position as
a manager,i will reffer you to an accredited attorney
here,who will prepare the necessary documents and
affidavits, which will put you in place as the next of
kin.
He will handle the drafting and notarization of the
WILL and obtain the necessary documents and letter of
probate / administration in your favor for the
transfer of the fund to you.
The money will be transfered to your nominated bank
account in any part of the world for us to share in
the ratio of 80% for me and 20% for
you,i hope this is okay.
There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this
transaction will be done by the attorney and my
position as the Branch Manager guarantees the
successful execution of this transaction.
If you are interested,please reply immediately via
email.If on the other hand you are not interested
please disregard this mail and I will not contact you
again.
Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more
details of the transaction and the relevant documents
