Subject: read and get back to me
Dear Sir\Madam,
I am Ahmed Kilani, manager of bills/exchange at the foreign
remittance department of Hanivitbank. In my department, we discovered an
abandoned sum of $44,700,000.00 (Forty Four Million, Seven Hundred Thousand
United State Dollars only) in an account that belonged to one Late Mr Kemp
Phillips an American, who died along with his entire family, on November
1996, in a ghastly plane crash. Since we got the information about his
death, we have been expecting his next-of-kin to come over and file a claim
as next of kin over his money because we can not release it unless somebody
applied for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in
our banking guidelines.
Unfortunately, nobody has come forward to claim this money. It is based on
this that some officials in my department and I have decided to establish a
cordial business relationship with you, hence by contacting you. We want you
to present yourself as the next of kin to Late Mr Kemp Phillips, so that the
funds can be remitted into your account. Moreover, we do not want the money
to go into the government account as unclaimed bills. The banking law and
guidelines here stipulates that any account abandoned or is dormant for a
period of years, is deemed closed and all money contained therein forfeited
to the government treasury account.
Now, it is being speculated that the above sum will be transferred into the
government account as an unclaimed fund on or before the end of this
financial quarter of 2005, when nobody come forward to lay claims. The
reason for requesting your assistance, is occasioned by, the fact that the
deceased (Late Mr Kemp Phillips) was a foreigner, and we have access to his
detailed bio data which you will hold as a weapon to present yourself as the
next of kin to Late Mr kemp Phillips.
The mode of sharing after a successful transfer of the money into your
account, shall be 70% to my colleagues and I, for the role you will be
expected to play in this deal, we have agreed to give you 25% of the total
sum and 5% for the expenses we are going to encounter by the two parties in
the course of this transaction.
Therefore,you are expected to reply this letter indicating your readiness
and interest to participate in this business. After receiving your reply,
you will be communicated to with the exact steps to take. I expect your
urgent response and I shall contact you for further discussion on this
matter,to enable us conclude this transaction urgently without any delay or
hitch. Please treat this business proposal as strictly confidential for
security reasons considering my official position.
Personal Regards,
AHMED KILANI
