ST AUGUSTINE'S HOSPITAL,
86 CHELMSFORD ROAD,
LONDON,ENGLAND.
Dear Beloved,
Forgive me if this comes to you as a surprise because we do not know each
other in person.I have picked-up the trust and courage to ask you to look
for a reliable and honest person who will be capable for this important
business transaction believing that you will never let me down either now or
in the future.
I am DR JOHN LINCON,a general medical practitioner attached at the St
augustine's Hospital,London,England.I have very important information I wish
to share with you. On the 7th of July 2005,we admitted a patient (Late Mr
Giles Hart, 55,who is a british citizen living here in London with his
family before his sudden death).who was a victim of London Bomb .It was
found on examination that the accident has metastasized extensively and that
he had no chances of survival. Thus our medical team informed the patient
that his death would be a matter of weeks.I was assigned to manage this
patient and I was able to have his history and eventually developed
friendship with him.
He made a fixed Deposit valued at USD15million (Fifteen Million United
States Dollars Only) with a finance institution here in EUROPE.
Unfortunately he lost his life on July 7 london bus bomb which took place at
Tavistock Square-London. To see the details of this bomb blast and my late
patience Mr Giles Hart , Please click on the
<http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4668245.stm> He left no clear beneficiary
as to his business foreign associate but all documents relating to the claim
of this fund will be processed in your name as his business foreign
associate as soon as we agreed together.Because,he handed me over some of
the documents as he could at his point of death.
The Governing Body of the Bank here in london has contacted me on this
matter and I am yet to provide the Next of Kin/foreign business associate to
lay a claim to the Fund. Under a clear and legitimate agreement with you,I
shall seek your consent to be presented as the next of kin / foreign
business associate without any risk involved so that my late patience Fund
will not be confiscated by the Government. For the sake of transparency on
this matter, you are free to make immediate contact with me through my
confidential mail box at: CAN_FAN_SECU@YAHOO.COM for further information
related to this matter.
I beg you to treat this transaction with high confidentiality.The medical
board of England will subject me to a hectic interrogation if they get hold
of this information,which may lead to the money being confiscated. But I
must assure you that this business bears no risk whatsoever.I have perfected
every arrangement to bring about a very successful transfer in the most
legal way. All I require from you is your co operation. I suggest that when
this money successfully transferred to your account, I will give you 30%
for your assistance.
Thank you very much for your anticipated acceptance while i expect your
prompt response.
DR JOHN LINCON,
ON BEHALF
