Subject: RE URGENT FROM ABN BANK
ABN AMRO BANK
101 Moorgate
London, EC2M 6SB
U.K.
Dear Friend,
I am Mr. Mark Boland, Manager of ABN AMRO BANK 101
Moorgate, London, EC2M 6SB.
I have an urgent and very confidential business proposition for you. On
July 20, 2001; Mr. Zemenu Gente, a National of France, who used to be
a private contractor with the Shell Petroleum Development Company in
Saudi Arabia, made a Numbered time (Fixed deposit)
for 36 calendar months, valued at GBP£30, 000,000.00 (Thirty Million
Pounds only), in my Branch.
Upon maturity in 2004, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding
address but got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we
discovered from his contract employers, Shell Petroleum Development
Company in Saudi Arabia that Mr. Gente, his wife with their
three children died in an auto crash during one of his trips to his country,
France.
On further investigation, I found out that he died intestate. All attempts
to trace his next of kin were fruitless. I therefore made further
investigation and discovered that Mr. Gente did not declare any next
of kin or Relations in all his official documents, including his Bank
Deposit
paperwork in my Bank. The sum of GBP£30,000,000.00 have been floating
as unclaimed since 2001 in my bank as all efforts to get his relatives have
hit
the stones. According to the British law at the expiration of 5 (FIVE)
years,
the money will revert to the ownership of the British Government if nobody
applies to claim the fund and the FIVE years is the end of JUNE 2005.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 2 years
now,
I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin / Will Beneficiary to
the
deceased so that the proceeds of this account valued at GBP£30,000,000.00
can be transferred/paid to you. This will be disbursed or shared in these
percentages, 60% to me and 40% to you.
I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any claim
we may make. All I require is your honest Co-operation, Confidentiality and
trust to enable us see this transaction through. I guarantee you that this
will
be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any
breach of the law. Please get in touch with me urgently by E-mail and
Provide
me with the following;
1. Full Name
2. Your Telephone Number and Fax Number
3. Your Contact Address.
Your urgent response will be highly anticipated and appreciated.
Best regards,
Mr. Mark Boland.
