Subject: WESTPAC BANKING CORPORATION
Having obtained your contact from the internet that you have
been doing several transactions in good trust, coupled with
my deep interest to invest in your country, I decided to
contact and solicit your mutual assistance at all cost.
I am Mr.Andy Morris,Branch Manager, Westpac Banking
Corporation London. On January 6th 1999, one Mr.Mohamed
Kamal Yasser ,an Egyptian National, a consultant/contractor
with Gardiner & Theobald,a leading firm of project and cost
management consultants, made a numbered time (Fixed)
Deposit, valued at £19,500,000.00 (Nineteen Million,Five
Hundred ThousandPounds) for twelve calender months in my
Bank Branch.
Upon Maturity, we sent a routine notification to his
forwarding address but got no reply. After a month,we sent a
reminder and finally we discovered from his contract
employers (Gardiner & Theobald) that Mr.Mohamed Kamal Yasser
died from air disaster in October 31st, 1999.On further
investigation, it was discovered that he died without making
a WILL (En-state) and all attempts to trace his next of kin
was fruitless.
On further investigations, it was discovered that Late Mr
Mohamed Kamal Yasser did not declare any next of kin or
relations in all his official documents, including his Bank
Deposit paper work here at the Bank.The total sum,
£19,500,000.00 is still in my bank and the interest is
being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each
year. No one will ever come forward to claim it. In
accordance with the Banking Federal Laws and constitution,at
the expiration of 5 (five) years,the money will revert to
the ownership of the Government if nobody applies as the
next of Kin to claim the funds.
Consequently, I shall present you as a foreign partner to
stand in as the next of kin to late Mr. Mohamed Kamal Yasser
so that you and I can benefit from the fruits of this old
man's labour to enhance humanitarian Organisation Worldwide.
Upon acceptance of this proposal, I shall send to you either
by fax or email a scanned copy of the Westpac Banking
Corporation "Next of Kin Payment Application Form"as well as
detailed information on how this deal would be transacted.
We shall employ the services of a solicitor for the drafting
of the LAST WILL & TESTAMENT of Late Mr.Mohamed Kamal Yasser
and to obtain all other relevant papers in your name for the
necessary documentation for payment approval in my bank
headquarters in your favour. The money will be shared in the
ratio: Sixty percent for me, thirty five percent for you and
five percent for any arising contigencies during the course
of this transaction.
I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law
as I will use my position as the Bank's Branch Manager to
secure approvals and guarantee the successful execution of
this transaction.It will take only 7-10 working days to
conclude this transaction.
Please be informed that your utmost confidentiality is
required. If this interests you, please reply me immediately
via the private email address below and please include your
private phone number for voice contact and fax number so
that I can provide you with more details and relevant
documents that will help you understand the transaction
better.
