Good Day !
With due esteem respect please I beg your pardon for this unsolicited
nature, it was was out of desperation and Curiosity that made me to
contact you, to introduce myself .
I am Mr Collins Zabaterro i am the Personal Accountant to Mr John ,a
National of your country,who used to work with Capresa -Calibrados de
Precision SA {CCDP} a Steel Company here in Spain, herein shall be referred
as my customer.
On the 11th of March 2004 at about 0639 Gmt, my customer, his wife{Lady
Juliet and their two children {Rose and Dan } were involved in a ghastly
Train Bomb blast along Atocha Train Center here in Madrid,that got 191
people killed ,and 1,800 injured, unfortunately,him and his family were
victims that lost their lives.You can view this page for more information
{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/March_11%2C_2004_Madrid_attacks}
Since then I have made several enquiries to your embassy to locate
any of my customer, extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track his last name
over the Internet, to locate any member of his family or any close
name to his, hence I contacted you. I am contacting you to assist in
repatriating the money and property left behind by my client before they get
liquidated or declared Unserviceable by the bank where this huge deposits
were lodged,particularly the Banco Sol De Credito, where the deceased had
his account valued precisely to be USD$1,546,810.00 (One Million five
hundred and fourty six thousand eight hundred and ten dollars).
The bank has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the
account liquidated within the next twenty one official working days.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a national of same
country to stand in as the next of kin to, so that the fruits of this old
man's labour will not get into the hands of some group of corrupt
government officials who will get rid of the money and share it for their
own selfish interest and greed.
Since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the the relatives for over 1 year
and 10 months now, I seek your prompt consent to present you as the next of
kin of the deceased since you have the same last name so that the proceeds
of this account valued at USD$1,546 ,810.00Mcan be paid to you and then you
and I can share the money according to any agreed ratio.
All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us see this deal
through, I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
Looking forward to your swift reply.
Truly Yours,
Mr Collins Zabaterro
