Subject: URGENT BUSINESS TRANSACTION
LETTER OF INTENT
Dear Sir,
I am Mr Richard H . Collins I am 48 years Of Age, a native of London .I got
your information while browsing through internet in search of a reliable
person who will assist me. On 31st of July 2000, an Oil
consultant/contractor, Mr. Kurt Kahle with ROYAL DUTCH PETROLEUM COMPANY, he
made a numbered time (fixed) deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at
US$20,700,000.00(Twenty Million Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars) with ROYAL
BANK OF SCOTLAND branch upon maturity. 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, the ROYAL DUTCH PETROLEUM COMPANY that On the 31st of
July 2000, our client, his wife and their Children died in the Air France
concord plane crash bound for New York in their plan for a world cruise,
with other passengers abroad as you can confirm it yourself via the website
:blankhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm.
I found out that he died without making a will, and attempts to trace his
next of kin was fruitless. I therefore made further investigation and
discovered that Mr. Kurt Kahle did not declare any next of kin or relations
in all his official documents, including his bank deposit paperwork in ROYAL
BANK OF SCOTLAND. This sum of US$20,700,000.00 is still in ROYAL BANK OF
SCOTLAND and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the
end of each year. No one will ever come forward to claim it. According to
the law of the country, at the expiration of (five) years, the money will
revert to the ownership of the Scotland Government if nobody applies to
claim the fund.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand as
the next of kin to Mr. Kurt Kahle so that the fruit of this old man's labor
will not get into the hands of some corrupt Government officials. I will
like you to provide immediately your full name and address so that the
Attorney will prepare the necessary documents and affidavits, which will put
you in place as the next of kin to Mr. Kurt Kahle. We shall employ the
service of attorney for the drafting and notarization of the WILL and obtain
the necessary documents and letter of probate/administration in your favour
for the transfer. Any bank account in any part of the world that you will
provide will then facilitate the transfer of this money to you as the
beneficiary/next of kin.
The money will be paid into your account for us to share in ratio of 60% for
me and 40% for you. There is no risk at all; he attorney and my position
will do the paperwork for this transaction as the Branch Manager guarantees
the successful execution of this transaction. If you are interested, please
reply immediately via the private email address below, upon your response
shall provide you with more details and relevant documents that will help
you understand the transaction. Please observe utmost confidentiality and be
rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us
because i shall require your assistance to invest my share in your country.
Please upon the receipt of this mail message.
Please kindly forward your respond to my private e-mail address:
collin_r@di-ve.com
send to me the following, to enable start the process of the fund into
your bank account:
1. Your full Name
2. Your private Telephone and fax numbers.
3 Your mailing address
Yours Faithfully.

THE ROYAL BANK OF SCOTLAND,
