Subject: Hope I can rely on you
rst,I must apologise to you for using this medium to communicate about this
transaction,though it is my great pleasure in writing you this letter on
behalf of my colleague and myself.I am Robert Chavez,the manager in charge
of auditing and accounting section of a bank in UK.My colleague and I have
decided to contact you on a business transaction that will be very
beneficial to both of us at the end of the transaction.I would be brief and
direct to ensure you understand everything properly.
During our investigation and auditing in this bank,my department came
across a very huge sum of money belonging to a wealthy and now deceased
customer of our Bank who died on 26 September 1997 in a plane crash in
Garuda,Indonesia.He operated a 15yrs life scheme with our bank. The value of
this account is Fourteen million British Pounds Sterling (14million
GBP).Since his untimely death the fund has been dormant in his account with
this Bank without any claim of the funds either from his family or relations
before our discovery to this development. Meanwhile the whole arrangement to
put claim over these funds as the bonafide next of kin to the deceased and
transfer this money to a foreign account has been put in place. Directives
and needed information will be relayed to you as soon as you indicate your
interest and willingness to assist us and also benefit from this great
business opportunity.We could have done this deal on our own,but because of
our position in this country operating a local account would eventually
raise an eye brow on my side during the time of transfer because I work in
this bank. This is the actual reason why it will require a second party that
will forward claims as the next of kin to the Bank and also present a
foreign account where he will need the money to be re-transferred into on
his request as it would be after due verification and clearification by the
correspondent branch of the bank where the whole money will be remitted from
to your own designated bank account.
May I at this point emphasize that this transaction is a successful
arrangement,as an insider of the bank I have the capacity to monitor that
everything is going well. On smooth conclusion of this transaction, you will
be entitled to your own share of the total sum as gratification. This
share of yours is negotiable as long as it is reasonable.Please, you have
been adviced to keep this a top secret as we are still in service and intend
to retire from service after we conclude this deal with you.I will be
monitoring the whole situation here in this bank until you confirm the money
in your account and ask us to come down to your country for subsequent
sharing of the fund according to percentages we shall agree upon.All other
necessary information will be sent to you on your acceptance to champion
this transaction with us.I suggest you get back to me as soon as
possible,stating your wish in this deal.
Yours faithfully,
Robert Chavez.
