Amsterdam, the Netherland,
-----------------------------------------
Mr. Mark Smith. (A.F.M .Uk)
99, Queen's Road Central,
E13 5TY, East London,
United Kingdom.
My Dear Friend,
I am Mr. Jan van Mullen of Authority Financial Markets (A.F.M)and Investment Bank,
Amsterdam The Netherlands. On July 6, 2004, our client Mr. Mike Hall, a businessman, made a numbered
fixed deposit for 6 (six) calendar months, with a value of US$14.5 Million
only with this bank. Upon maturity six Months later, several notices were
sent to him and no response came from him. A final Maturity Notice on his
investment was sent early February and still no response came from him.
The Bank officially sent a two-man delegate to his residence and his
official address as stated in his confidential file with the bank, only to
find out that the business mogul and his family perished in the Tsunami
disaster. A confirmation of the death of Mike Hall and his wife can be
seen via the link below:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/bristol/4153821.stm
After further investigations, it was also discovered that Mr. Mike Hall
did not declare any next of kin or trustee to the funds on behalf of the
family of the deceased in his official papers apart from his wife who also
died in the disaster, including the paper work of his bank deposit. And he
also confided in me the last time he visited my office that no one apart
from his wife and me knew of his deposit in my bank. So, fourteen million
five hundred thousand ($14.5m)United State Dollars is still lying in my bank
and no one will ever come forward to claim it, that I know for sure.
According to the laws of the Netherland, at the expiration of one year
(1 year) without any transaction on the account, the funds will revert to
the ownership of Government if nobody applies for claim of the funds. I
will like you as a foreigner to stand as the Trustee to the said funds and
not the next of kin as this would raise so much eye braw and suspicion as
you are in no way related to the deceased, Mr. Mike Hall to enable you
receive the funds. Let’s put heads together to see how we can transfer
these funds out of this country and use it judiciously.
I have contacted an Attorney that will prepare the necessary documents
that will back you up as the trustee to the said funds deposited by Mr.
Mike Hall. All that is required from you at this stage is for you to
provide me with your full names and Address including your direct phone
and fax numbers and your business or company name and contact details if
you have any for the lawyer I have gotten to commence work immediately.
My Attorney will also file in for claims on your behalf and secure the
necessary approvals and get most importantly, a letter which will be
presented to my bank as written by Late Mike Hall after making the
deposits appointing you as his only trustee to the funds aside his wife
known to the bank as his next of kin. This will all be in your favour for
the funds to be moved to an account that will be provided by you. We are
going to adopt a legalized method and the Attorney will prepare all the
necessary documents and no risk will be involved.
I am offering you 25% of the total sum for your assistance and partnership
in this deal. Note, this is negotiable by both parties, so if this is not
ok with you, let me know what sharing ratio you would want, if it is ok
with me, we can go ahead.
Contact me immediately with your full names, address, and occupation, personal
and direct fax and telephone number if you are interested to do this
business with me and more details will be provided to you about the
Project.
Best Regards,
Mr Jan van Mullen
