Dear Sir,
Compliments of the day!
I got your contact on my private search for a reliable and trusted person
to handle a transaction of this nature.I know that the contents of this mail
might sound so strange, but I want to assure you that every word of it is
true.I am Ms.Maria Theodovoura, credit officer of the AFC Merchant Bank.I
have a concealed business suggestion for you.Before the plane crash of
macedonian's president and his cabinet members on
February 26, 2004,our client Risto Blazevski an adviser of the President
Macedonia and also business man made a numbered fixed deposit for 18
calendar months, with a value of Four Million,Six Hundred Thousand United
State Dollars only in my branch.

After his death it was also discovered that Risto Blazevski did not
declare any next of kin in his official papers including the paper work of
his bank deposit. And he also confided in me the last time he was at my
office that no one except me knew of his deposit in my bank.So, Four
Million,Six Hundred Thousand United State Dollars is still lying in my bank
and no one will ever come forward to claim it. What bothers me most is that
according to the to the laws of my country at the expiration two years the
funds will revert to the ownership of the Singapore Government if nobody
applies to claim the funds.Against this backdrop, my suggestion to you is
that I will like you as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to Risto
Blazevski so that you will be able to
receive his funds.
WHAT IS TO BE DONE:
I want you to know that I have had everything planned out so that we
shall come out successful.I have contacted an attorney that will prepare the
necessary document that will back you up as the next of kin to Risto
Blazevski ,all that is required from you at this stage is for you to provide
me with your Full Names and Address so that the attorney can commence his
job.After you have been made the next of kin,the attorney will also file in
for claims on your behalf and secure the necessary approval and letter of
probate in your favor for the move of the funds to an account that will be
provided by you.There is no risk involved at all in the matter as we are
going to adopt a legalized method and the attorney will prepare all the
necessary documents.
Please endeavor to observe utmost discretion in all matters concerning
this issue.Once the funds have been transferred to your nominated bank
account we shall share in the ratio of 55% for me, 40% for you and 5%for
any expenses incurred during the course of this operation.Should you be
interested please send me your private phone and fax numbers for easy
communication, you can write me via my private box
thus(msmaria_theodovoura@yahoo.com.hk) and i will provide you with more
details of this operation. Your earliest response to this letter will be
appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Ms.Maria Theodovoura.
