Dear Friend,
My name is Mr. FranK Barry, I work in a bank here in the United Kingdom.I am
contacting you of a business transaction, of a huge sum of money from A
deceased client of mine. Though I know that a transaction of this magnitude
will make any one apprehensive and
worried, but I am assuring you that everything has been taken care off, and
all will be well at the end of the day. I decided to contact you due to the
urgency of this transaction.
FACT: I was the account officer of a foreigner named Gerald Welsh who died
in an air crash along with his wife on The 31st October 1999 in an Egyptian
airline 1990 with other passengers on board. Since his death, none of his
next-of-kin are alive to lay claims for this monies as his heir, because
they all died in the same accident himself and his wife (May Their souls
Rest In Peace). We could not release the funds from his account unless
someone applied for claim as the next-of-kin to the deceased. At that period
he had $14,210,045m (Fourteen Million Two Hundred and Ten Thousand Dollars)
in his account. After five years the money was called back to the bank
treasury as unclaimed bills and the money shared amongst the directors of
the bank, which has already been done by the directors early this year.
PROPOSITION; Due to the relationship between I and the deceased (Gerald
Welsh) he told me of a diamond business which he had to do and left me
incare of the "CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSIT" which he used to lodge the funds in a
security company in europe which is to the tune of $8.4M(Eight Million Four
Hundred Thousand Dollars).
Note: that I decided to seek for whom his/her name shall be used as the next
of kin/beneficiary to claim the funds at the security company rather than
allow the funds to lay unclaimed. It may interest you to know that i have
secured from the probate an order of mandamus to locate any of the deceased
beneficiaries again and no one was found.
Please acknowledge receipt of this message in acceptance of our mutual
business Endeavor by furnishing me with the following information if you
are interested, in order for me to prepare the Document in your name.
1. Full name and Address
2. Direct Telephone and Fax numbers
to contact and to have mutual trust in each other.
I shall be compensating you with 30% percent of the whole funds on final
conclusion of this project for your assistance, while the balance of 70%
shall be for me for investment purposes. If this proposal is acceptable by
you, please endeavor tocontact me Immediately. Do not take undue advantage
of the trust I have bestowed in you. I await your urgent email. And pleases
endeavour to reply through my e-mail address: frankbarry1@o2.pl
Thank you and God bless.
Regards,
MR. FranK Barry
