Hello,
For your kind attention,
Do accept my sincere apologies if my mail does not meet your personal
ethics. I will introduce myself as Mr Peter Bridgewater, a staff in the
accounts management section of a well-known bank in United Kingdom. One of
our accounts with holding balance of £10,000,000(Ten Million British
Pounds) has been dormant and has not been operated for the past 5 years.
From my investigations and confirmations, the owner of this account a
foreigner by name Austin Martins died in August 2000 and since his
death nobody has done anything as regards the claiming of this money
because he has no family members who are aware of the existence of neither
the account nor the funds. Also Information from the National Immigration
states that he was also single on entry into the UK.
I have discussed this matter with some of my bank top officials and we
have agreed to find a reliable partner to deal with. We thus propose to
do business with you, standing in as the next of kin of these funds
from the deceased and funds released to you after due processes have been
followed .
I want to present you as the owner of the funds so you can be able to claim them with the help of my attorney.
This is simple. I will like you to provide
immediately your full names and address so that the Attorney will prepare the necessary documents which will put you in place as the beneficiary of the funds.
The money will be moved out for us to share in the ratio of 70% for me and 30% for you.
If you are interested, please reply immediately via my email address,
bridgewaterpeter@yahoo.co.uk <mailto:bridgewaterpeter@yahoo.co.uk> and upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details.
Please observe utmost confidentiality, and be rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require your assistance to invest my share in real estate within your country.Due to the confidentiality nature of this Transaction our communication can only be via email and fax mostly.
Awaiting your urgent reply via my email above.
Thanks and my regards.
Peter Bridgewater.
