Subject: RE:MY NAME IS MR.DAVID HODGE
Dear GOOD DAY,
How is the condition of health together with your family and others over
there? I hope you all are healthy. Please I know that this message will come
to you as a surprise since we don know each other. But for the purpose of
introduction, I am Mr.David.E.Hodge , a Credit Manager at the U.T.Bank of
United Kingdom. There is an account opened in this bank in 1980, and since
1991 nobody has operated this account. After going through some old records,
I discovered that if I do not remit this money out urgently it would be
forfeited for nothing.
The owner of the account was Mr. Hants Allen, a foreigner and offshore oil
explorer/refiner on the North Sea, and a geologist. He died in 1995. No
other person knows about this account or any thing concerning it. The
account has no other beneficiary and my investigations proved to me as well
that his company does not know anything about this account. And the amount
involved is (USD 18.5M) Twenty Four Million United States Dollars. I am only
contacting you being a foreigner because this money cannot be approved to a
local bank here, but can only be approved to any foreign account because the
money is in US Dollars, and the former owner of the Account was Mr. Hants
Allen who was also a foreigner. I know that this message will come to you as
a surprise, as we didn know each other before.
We will sign an agreement, but be assured that this is real and a genuine
business. Please reply urgently so that I will inform you on the next step
to take immediately. Send also your private telephone and fax numbers,
including the full details of the account to be used for the deposit. I want
us to meet face to face or sign a binding agreement to bind us together so
that you can receive this money into a foreign account or any account of
your choice where the fund will be safe. And I will fly to your country for
withdrawal and sharing and other investments. I need your full co-operation
to make this work smoothly because the Controller of Remittance is ready to
approve this payment to any foreigner, who has correct information on this
account, which I will provide you later.
If you are capable and willing to handle such amount in strict confidence
and trust according to my instructions and advice for our mutual benefit,
please do not hesitate to let me know immediately. Because this opportunity
may never come again in my lifetime. I need a very truthful person in this
business because I don't want to make mistakes. I need your strong
assurances and trust. With my position now in the office I can influence the
transfer of this money to any foreigner's reliable account, which you can
provide with the assurance that this money will be intact pending my
physical arrival in your country for sharing.
You can also come to discuss with me face to face after which I will make
this remittance in your presence and two of us will fly to your country at
least two days ahead of the money going into the account. I will apply for
an annual leave immediately I hear from you that you are ready to act and
receive this fund in your account. I will use my position and influence to
effect legal approvals and onward transfer of this money to your account
with the appropriate clearance forms from the ministries and Foreign
Exchange departments. On the conclusion of this business, you will be given
25% of the total amount, 60% will be for me, and while 5% will be for any
expenses both parties may have incurred during the process of this
transaction.
I look forward to hearing from you as soon as you have received this e-mail.
Best Regards,
Mr.David.E.Hodge (Credit Manager)
