Dear sir/ma,
SOLICITING FOR ASSISTANCE.
May I crave your indulgence to a business partnership of this sort, for the
time limit and urgency required we have chosen this means of communication
to start; my name is Dr Peter Raymond, I am the Accounting Manager to the
above name financial institution and the personal accountant and financial
adviser to late Mr. Adams Colbert, a citizen of the United State Of America,
My client was a formal contractor with a German construction company here in
my country, until his death(him and his family were victim of the London
bombing) he has a closing stock balance of £ 6.5m PS (six million five
hundred thousand pound sterling) with my bank were I acted as his personal
accountant and financial adviser, after his death, no body has come forth to
claim his asset nor has their been any of his relative identified, with
regards to this a board meeting was held on 1st of October, 2005 under the
influence of our chair man Mr. Jacko Maree and chief executive officer Mr.
Rob Leith, notification was sent to his attorney, Barrister Armstrong Dike
to provide the next of kin to his late client within 60 working days or
stand the risk of having the fund confiscate and declare the account
unserviceable and send the found to a discredited trust fund for arms and
ammunition to further the aid of war in the middle east.
To avert this negative development my self and Barrister Armstrong now seek
for your permission to have you stand as the diseased next of kin since you
are also a foreigner so that the fund (£ 6.5M) will be subsequently
transferred into your bank account as the beneficiary next of kin.
We have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any claim
we may make. All we require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this
deal through and we guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
Upon your agreement contact me through my private mail:
stdbank@peterokaforstd-bank.com.
So we will move to the next step and we wish you send to us your full name
and direct telephone line were we can call you for more conversation, with
regards to the percentage of each part, you will get 25% of the total sum
70% will be for my self and Barrister Armstrong while 5% is set aside for
any expenses that we may incure.
Please reach me for further discussion.
Best regards.
