Subject: STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL PLEASE!!!!
Dear Friend,
I am Acct. Andrew Broadus, Accounts Manager Barclays Bank, London, England,
I have an urgent and very confidential business proposition for you.
An American Oil consultant and contractor with the British Solid Minerals
Corporation, Mr Salah Adam,made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve
calendar months, valued at US$26,000,000.00 (Twenty-Six Million Dollars) in
my branch. upon maturity, I 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, the British Solid Minerals
Corporation that Mr.Salah Adam, died in a plane crash along with his wife Mr
and Mrs Salah & Shaline Adam in Egypt Air Flight 990,1999 air crash and was
directed to this site for more information about this crash
http://www.s-t.com/daily/11-99/11-02-99/d08ho174.htm
Since we got this information about his death and on further investigation,
I found out that he died without making a WILL, and all attempts to trace
his next of kin was fruitless. I therefore made further investigation and
discovered that Mr.Salah Adam, did not declare any kin or relations in all
his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank.
This sum of US$26,000,000.00 is still sitting in my Bank and the interest is
being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year.
For one will ever come forward to claim it. According to British Laws, at
the expiration of 7 (seven) years, the money will revert to the ownership of
the British Government if nobody applies to claim the fund. Consequently,my
proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of
kin to Mr.Salah Adam so that we can recieve this money.
This is simple, I will like you to provide immediately your full names and
address so that the attorney will
prepare the necessary documents and affidavits that will put you in place as
the next of kin. Recently,
we got wind of information that the Board of directors are making plans to
confisticate this money and may be some of their top officials could sit
upon this money.
This was where we took it upon ourselves to transfer the fund to one of our
fudiciary firm /finance house in Spain for your easy collection. As soon as
you receive this mail and ready for the transfer, then get prepared to
travel to the fudiciary company company in Spain for the collection of this
fund with the help of the documents which i shall send to you once you
indicate your interest to make this trip to Spain.
Alternatively, If you find it very difficut to make this trip to Spain,then
a bank account in any part of the world that you will provide will then
facilitate the transfer of this money to you as the beneficiary/next of kin.
The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of 90%
for me and 10% for you.
There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be
done by the attorney and my position as the Branch Manager guarantees the
successful execution of this transaction. If you are interested, please
reply immediately. Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more
details that will help you understand the transaction.
Please send me your confidential telephone and fax numbers for easy
communication.Please observe utmost
confidentiality, and rest assured that this transaction would be most
profitable for both of us because I shall require your assistance to invest
my share in your country.
Awaiting your urgent reply.
Regards,
Mr Andrew Broadus.
