Subject: Hello Everts
Hello Everts,
I apologize if the contents here under are contrary to your moral ethics.
But please treat with absolute secrecy and personal. My name is Clarence
Charles Dare. I am an employee of a commercial bank here in England. We had
a customer of the same bank, Named Barry Everts, An American by nationality
now deceased.
We lost this customer and his son in the December 26th 2004 Asian Earthquake
disaster while he was on holidays in Southeast Asia. At the time of his
death, his fixed deposit account with the Bank is valued at
US$10,480,000.00(Ten Million four hundred and eighty thousand
U.S Dollars).The account has been dormant and unclaimed due to
unavailability of a next of kin/relatives to claim his estate, because he
died intestate and his son who could have been his next of kin died in the
same disaster. You can view the website below to confirm the incidence that
claimed the life of Barry and his son.

In accordance with the intestate laws of England, every unclaimed
estates/inheritance must be turned to the Government and the deceased file
with the bank closed out and referred to archives. This is the process the
Bank wants to embark on in the next few months. It is as a result of the
fact that the deceased does not have a surviving or traceable relative that
I am moved to contact you considering the fact that you have the same LAST
NAME with the deceased. In view of this, I would like you to co-operate with
me and act as the deceased next of kin so that the inheritance can be paid
to you before the time period given by the Bank for the inheritance claim
elapses.
Bear in mind that I am a top official of the bank, due to this privileged
position I have in my possession the deceased personal file jacket which
contains valid information about the deceased and with this information you
can be able to prove your relationship to the deceased because the
verification of claim, which the Bank will conduct on the claimant, will be
based on the information in the deceased file, so you can be assured that
success will be achieved.
If you are interested and in agreement with me, please write back
immediately and include a confidential phone number to enable me call you
for a detailed discussion. Be rest assured that the inheritance will be
paid/released to you as long as your are ready to follow my instructions as
the insider in the bank. The proceedings will be shared 50% each once the
funds are repatriated into your account either in the US or elsewhere. If
however, you are not disposed to assist, kindly destroy this letter in view
of the confidentiality of the proposed transaction.
I wait for your prompt response.
Regards,
Mr.Clarence Charles Dare
