Dear Sir/Madam,
I am Mr. GEOFFREY WILSON, Treasury Manager with HSBC BANK PLC, CANADA
SQUARE UNITED KINGDOM. I got your contact from a Link upon my request for a
trusted and reliable foreign business man or company.
PROPOSITION
An American Real Estate Agent Wolfgang Schinister, 63 years of age who
was a BRITISH base had in our Bank the sum of US$7.1Million in a domiciliary
account.
He named his wife, Mrs.Helga Schinister as the next of kin.
Unfortunately, two of them were killed in the recent plane crash involving
concorde AF4590 in Gonesse, France. Effort had been made by the management
of my Bank through the American Embassy in Britain to contact any of the
deceased children but to no avail, as we were made to understand that the
couple had no child owing to the skeletal information available to the Bank,
it has so far been impossible to reach any of the relatives.
The option left for the Bank management is to declare the deceased
account dormant and revert the funds to trading on behalf of and in the
interest of the Bank. In order to avoid this development, my Colleagues and
I now seek your permission to have you stand as a distant relative to Mr.
and Mrs. Wolfgang Schinister so that the funds would be released to you.
All documents and proofs to enable you get the funds will be carefully
worked out on our receiving your consent to this proposal,we would
immediately obtain for an order of mandamus from the High Court of
Justice on your behalf recognizing you as a bona-fide relative to the
deceased and subsequent apply for the release of the funds to you as the
beneficiary.
Like I told you this transaction is hundred percent risk free. To make
this transaction easier, all I need from you is truthfulness, trust and the
fear of God.
Send recieving account details to the bank and have the fund
transferred to your nominated account within 12hrs.
With God on our side all this can be done within 7working days.
To this effect my colleagues and I have agreed to compensate you with
40% of the total sum US$7.1M for your kind assistance i.e provision of a
nominated foreign account to accommodate the fund for us. If this proposal
is acceptable to you.
You can contact me on:g_wilson124@yahoo.com
Do reach me and have a nice day.
Best Regards.
MR GEOFFREY WILSON
TREASURY MANAGER
