Subject: CONTACT ME ASAP PLS.
Hello Dear!
My name is John Campbell. I am the head, claims department (Atg) for Norwich
union London.
During the course of my job, I came across a file belonging to an American
who has worked in England for twenty years but unfortunately died three
years ago and as a matter of fact, he is entitled to some claims.
1) Workmen Compensation (W.C)
2) Pension Scheme (Working entitlement)
Unfortunately, when we tried to contact his wife who is registered as his
next of kin, we were informed by the new occupants that she died fourteen
months ago.
What I need you to do is to play the role of his next of kin to enable us
process all his entitlement as they run into £5.4 million pounds.
I shall send you the details of this transaction as soon as you give your
consent on this claim. And I also assure you that we shall have a long
lasting business relationship.
We will also agree on sharing method before we embark on this transaction.
Thank you for your anticipated co-operation.
Yours Sincerely
John Campbell(Mr.)
