Kindest Attention,
I am Mr.Leonard Bill director of operations with Volks Bank in London, my
late customer an expatriate was killed in an unknown circumstances and
before his death he had some unclaimed treasury bills (Bonds) with Volks
Bank in London. I decided to search for any of my late customer's relative
which has been very difficult to me before those treasury bills(Bonds) get
confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank.
In 2002 he invested in treasury bill bonds here in London in my bank
totalling 15.3 million pound sterlings which was due to be collected in 2004
with acrued dividends.On my yearly appraisal of my customer at the turn of
every year, I discovered that his investment is overdue for retrieval.I put
up series of mail to Mr George Reid which were sent back uncollected.I later
discovered that He passed on in february 2004.I tried to contact any of his
relatives, hence I decided to contact you to come in as his next of kin. I
will prepare every operation that will assist your claim, The treasury bills
(Bonds) will be released to you within 10 working days after you have filed
in for claims.For your
assistance you shall have 35% of the entire sum.This transaction is 100%
risk free and any risks will be on me as the director of operations so be
rest assured.
I would want you to send me your full names your phone number and your
mailing address to enable me talk to you before I send you the certificate
of deposit.As soon as I hear from you, I will send you the documents and
other relevant information relating to this transaction.I beleive in
confidentialy and openess with regard to this transaction. I will like you
to acknowledge the receipt of this e-mail as soon as possible via my
