Good day,
I am contacting you because of a business concerning a huge sum of money from a deceased MR.GREGORY MORETTO. He deposited in the Security and Finance Company where I work here in Madrid, Spain. I am aware that a transaction of this magnitude can make one apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you that all will be well at the end of the transaction as long as I am in office. I actually decided to contact you due to the urgency of this transaction.
PROPOSAL;
I discovered this abandoned deposit in my company, MR.GREGORY MORETTO was one of our foreign customers. He died along with his entire family as a result of an automobile crash in London. Actually he deposited this funds amounting to US$12,000,000.00 (Twelve million United States Dollars), for safe keeping in my company here in Madrid.
Company,s records shows that the funds was actually for a project our late costumer wanted to start in the near future (a multi million Dollar steel plant in Florida, USA), before his sudden and untimely death. Since his death none of his relations or next-of-kin has come forward to laysafe keeping in my company.
Since his death none of his relations or next-of-kin has come forward to lay claims for this property as the heir, and this is basically the reason why I am contacting you. And my company cannot release the property unless someone applies for claim as the next-of-kin to the deceased as indicated in our Operation-Guidelines.
Upon this discovery, I now seek your permission to have you stand as a next of kin to the deceased as all documentations will be carefully worked out by me for the funds to be released in your favour as the beneficiary's next of kin.
Please acknowledge receipt of this message in acceptance of our mutual business endeavour by furnishing me with the following;
Full name and address
Direct Telephone and fax numbers
Occupation and position
Nationality
Date of birth
Marital status
Gender/sex
These requirements will enable me file letter of claim to the appropriate departments for necessary approvals in your favour before you can personally apply and appear for the claim. I shall be compensating you with 30% of the total money while 10% will be for any expenses required and the rest will be mine on final conclusion of this project.
Please note that your share stays while the rest shall be for my investment purposes. If this proposal is acceptable by you, do not take undue advantage of the trust I have bestowed in you.
I await your urgent mail.
Best Regards,
Bernard Molina.
