Subject: BUSINESS REATIONSHIP
FROM THE OFFICE OF : MR.RANDY MORGAN
ROYAL BANK OF SCOTLAND UNITED KINGDOM.
LETTER OF INTENT!
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am Mr. Randy Morgan. I am 50 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
below:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm
on further investigation, 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. This is simple, 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, 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 Addresses.
Immediately I receive a mail indicating your interest and
I shall send you more details.
Thanks and regards,
Mr. Randy Morgan
