Subject: mutual business proposal
Hello,
Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Mr.james blake and I am a
branch manager of a reputable bank in United Kingdom (ENGLAND) and I have some urgent and
confidential proposition for you to consider, perhaps we could attempt it
together.
Sometime in 1999, AN ARAB OIL MERCHANT (Mr. KHALID MANSUR) made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for several months in my bank. This deposit has reached maturity and I have sent a routine notification to his forwarding address in America but got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employees in America that Mr. Khalid Mansur died alongside his wife in Iraq conflict in 2004.
On further investigation, I found out that he died without making a Will.
All attempts to trace his next of kin were fruitless. I therefore carried
out further investigation and discovered that he did not declare any next
of kin or relations in all his official documentswith my bank, including his Bank
Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum is still sitting in my Bank and the
interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each
year. I know that no one will ever come forward to claim it and according
to banking Laws of England and wales, at the expiration of 5 (five) years, the
money will revert to the Government, that is if nobody applies to claim the funds.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin in other for us to claim this money.
The total money available in the account including interest accummulated over the years is $21.000000 (twenty one million u.s.dollars).
If you will do this deal with me please indicate your interest by sending a mail to my email address james_5v@yahoo.co.uk We will then exchange phone numbers for easier contact.
Also indicate to me how you want this money to be shared. I suggest you take 20% of the $21 000000 when you receive the $21m.
I assure you that this deal will be without any risk on your part because I am in a position to protect you as well as protect myself.
I will wait for your urgent reply.
Regards
JAMES BLAKE
