Mr Jack Allan,
Director (Bill And Exchange)
Assurance Security Company
Isle of Man,
United Kingdom
22nd August 2005
Attn:
With due respect I have decided to contact you on a
business transaction that will be beneficial to both of us.I am
Mr.Jack Allan, a staff of the Assurance Security Company Isle of Man
. At the bank's last accounts/auditing evaluations, I came across an old
account, which was being maintained by a foreign client who I learnt died as
a result of heart failure on Decenber 31st 2000.Since the deceased was
unable to run this account as a result
of his death, the account has remained dormant without the knowledge of his
family because the client deposited it in a safe deposit account
in the bank for future investment.
Since his demise, nobody,not even the members of his family have
applied for the claim of this fund, and it has been in the safe
depositaccount until I discovered that it cannot be claimed since
our client is a foreign national and we are sure that he has no next of kin
to
file claims over the money.
The bank has tried contacting the relatives but after several attempts
could not locate any of them.After these several unsuccessful
attempts,I decided to trace his last name over the Internet, to
locate any member of his family hence I contacted you.As the Head of the
dept., I humbly solicit your immediate assistance to transfer this money out
of the bank.
With my position as a staff of the bank, I am handicapped because the
present code of conduct act of the bank makes it an offence for me to
operate aforeign account and cannot lay bonafide claim over this and
out of the country.Once you indicate your good intention to have this fund
in your
account, I will present the deceased file before the desk of all the
Executive directors of the Bank, so as to identify you as the true Next Of
Kin to the deceased.I will supply you with all the necessary
information's and bank data's to assist you withstand the eligibility in
transferring this money to your bank account or any safe place of your
choice where this money can be successfully transferred to.
For your assistance, 35% of the total amount will be for your effort.
Lastly, I urge you to keep this transaction strictly confidential for
our security reasons while Ihope to retire with my own share of this
money at the end of the successful transfer of this fund to your designated
bank in
yourcountry. I assure you that this transaction is absolutely risk free
since I work in this bank, that is why you should be confident in the
success of this transaction because you will be
updated with information as at when desired.
Feel free to contact me through my e-mail address rsuth@sify.com
Thanks and remain blessed.
Mr Jack Allan
