Subject: Re: Hello Dear Friend
FROM THE DESK OF
MR VICTOR OSA
ALLIED IRISH BANKS (AIB) PLC
BANKCENTRE BALLSERIDGE, DUBLIN 4
REPUBLIC OF IRELAND
Dear Friend,
I am Mr. Victor Osa, General auditor of Allied Irish Bank (AIB) PLC, Dublin
– Ireland. I got your email contact, in my search for a trusted partner,
who will assist me with this confidential business proposal.
Mr. Stev Jam of the United States of America made a numbered times (Fixed)
deposited for twelve calendar months, valued at US$25,000.00 (twenty - five
Million US Dollars) in my branch, in the year 2001 through the assistance of
a financial Institution called Payment Centre, here in Ireland.
Upon maturity of the fix deposit agreement, I in charger of accounts
auditing sent a routine notification to Mr. Stev Jam forwarding address
unfortunately there was no reply to that effect, which prompt another
official mail to him at one month to the same address, l was finally
discovered from his employer, (National Mining Corporation) Minnesota that
Mr. Stev Jam past away some time ago, he died from a car accident.
On further investigation as the case may be, I further made some more
discovery that he (Mr. Stev) left no WILL as to who will inherit this fund
and in view of this l made several attempts to trace his next of kin but it
was fruitless. Therefore l made further investigation and discovered that
Mr. Stev Jam did not declare any next of kin in all his official documents
with this Bank, including his Bank account fix Deposit documents.
Meaning that the sum of US$25 Million has been sitting dormant in this Bank
and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at every end of
each year, no one has come forward to claim this fund.
However, according to the Irish Law, at the expiration of
6{Six} years, any money that is unclaimed by the beneficiary / benefactor
would be divert to the possession of the Irish Government, hence no one
applies for the claim.
Consequently, my proposal to this matter is that, I would like you as a
foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to Mr. Stev
Jam, so that the fruits of this old man's labour would not be in vain and
thereby getting to the hands of Irish government purse.
As a matter of fact the process is quite simple, I shall employ the
services of an Attorney for the drafting and securing of all the necessary
documents required to lay claim to this fund with a letter of administration
from the probate department in your
favour for the swift transfer.
The money will be lodged into your account then and thereafter, l will meet
with you for disbursement. The sharing method would be in the ratio of 70%
for me, 25% for you and 5% for miscellaneous, which will be set aside for
any expenses that might occur during the process transferring. There is no
risk attached all as the Attorney and my position will do all the paperwork
for a swift transfer, If you are interested and willing, please reply
immediately via my email address above.
Upon your response l shall then provide you with more details for the
successful accomplishment of this transaction, we will also attest to a
memorandum of agreement, which will be legal before any court of law to
avoid any misconceptions.
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 your country. Awaiting your
urgent response.
Kind regards
Mr. Victor Osa
