Subject: RE:WARM REGARD
My name is Ashley Coleman, I am a 39 years old British citizen,a former
account officer to late Dr.H paul jacobi at Barclays Bank Plc London,
England. On Tuesday, 19 January, 1999, one Dr. H. Paul Jacobi, an American
citizen, made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit, valued at £10,550,000.00 (Ten
Million, Five Hundred and Fifty Thousand Pounds) for twelve calendar months
in my Bank Branch.
Upon Maturity, we sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but
got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered
that Dr. Paul H. Jacobi was aboard the Egypt Air Flight 990, which crashed
into the Atlantic Ocean on October 31, 1999. After further investigation, it
was discovered that he died without making a WILL and all attempts to trace
his next of kin proved abortive.
On further investigation, it was discovered that Late Dr. Paul H. Jacobi did
not declare any next of kin or relatives in all his official documents,
including his Bank Deposit paper work here in our Bank. The total sum,
£10,550,000.00 is still in my care this is WHy i resigned from my bank work
and i deposited the morney in security volt company in spain currently now
am residing in spain for security reason and the duemorage is being rolled
over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one will ever come
forward to claim it.with this reason i implore you to apply as the next of
Kin to the late Dr H paul to enable you claim the funds. Consequently, I
shall present you as a foreign partner to stand in as the next of kin to the
late Dr. Paul H. Jacobi.
Upon acceptance of this proposal,I shall send to you in details information
on how this deal would be carried out. We shall employ the services of a
solicitor for the drafting of power of attorney to enable you obtain all
other relevant papers in your name for the necessary documentation for the
release of the consignment in your favour. The money will be shared in the
ratio: Sixty-five percent for me, thirty five percent for you (£3,692,500
British pounds). Hope this will be satisfactory.
I guarantee you that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that
will protect you from the security company . Please be informed that your
full confidentiality is required. Should this proposal meet your interests
respond back
Thanks.
Respectfully,
Ashley Coleman.
Pls. In your response furnish me with your confidential contact Tel, Fax and
your age,contact address.
