Subject: ENQUIRY!!
Dear Sir/Madame,
Compliments of the day. My mail may seem a little suprising for a person
that you do not know too well, but the inspiration to contact you is
simply of divine providence. I have contacted you because i seek your
partnership and understanding to realize this project which i am about to
explain with you.
My name is Mr. David Alvan and I work with a BANK in United Kingdom. Some
years ago I was attending a business luncheon in paris, France where i met
a France based business man , Mr Dick Gozinya, we discussed about his
intentions to invest in United kingdom.
Then some months later we met again in London, where I assisted him, to make
a (Fixed) Deposit of ( Twenty nine million seven hundred British pounds )
presently valued at ($55.5million USdollars) for six months in my Bank
Branch.
Upon Maturity of the first six months, my bank sent a routine notification
to his forwarding address, to confirm if he wanted to continue rolling it
over another duration, but we got no response from him. After another six
months,we sent another reminder to know if he wanted our Bank to continue
rolling over the interest, but we still did not get any response from him.
I had to make personal efforts to reach him, since i was his portfolio
manager that personally guided him through to make this deposit and
suprisingly I discovered that the client was aboard the French concorde Air
Flight which crashed, killing all passengers on board and including his
wife Andrea and only two children.
After months of investigations, all attempts to trace any his relatives to
him proved fruitless, as it was discovered that the depositor (Mr. Dick) did
not declare any next of kin or relations in all hisofficial documents. Since
then, the money has been in my bank domant and nobody has come to make
claims and I believe 'NO ONE' will ever come forward to make claims, since
the entire family was
eventually wiped out. I have made efforts to locate a member of his family
with strong biological links to my late client without success.
The search to find a close relation is one that has consumed time and
resources In accordance with the Federal banking Laws and constitution here,
at the expiration of (five) years, the money will revert to the ownership
of the Government if it remains dormant, or the owners of the bank may wipe
it off their records for their own benefits, since it would be termed as
floating money (free money).
My proposal is to package and present you as next of kin to the deceased
client and process the fixed deposit for transfer custody to you for our
mutual benefit. The transaction will be executed under normal legitimate
arrangements, as I will use my position in the Bank to secure approvals and
guarantee the successful execution of this transaction. This is my field and
in have done a perfect home-work to ensure that we have a perfect
transaction, so that you and I can benefit from this 'FREE MONEY', since it
now belongs to nobody. Moreover, it is pertinent to note that it is not
risk and does not require much engagement from your side since i will be
taking care of the transaction in full capacity as an insider.
I will be waiting to hear from you, but Please NOTE that it is very
important we keep all facts and details of this transaction to ourselves
alone, considering my position in the bank. I will be giving you more
details when i finaly come to see that we both can build up a good level of
trust amongst ourselves. I will be waiting to hear from you soon as time
is of the essense.

Best regards,
David Alvan.
