Dear Friend,
I am Mr.Emory Barra, Accounts Manager, of Abbey National PLC Bromley Rd
Branch. I have an important business proposition for you.
On December 12th, 2001, a German contractor with the British Pertroleum
co-orporation, United Kingdom ,Mr. Olaf Partetzke made a numbered time
(Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at US$ 17,350,000.00
(Seventeen Million Three Hundred Hundred and fifty Thousand Dollars only)
in my 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 British Pertroleum
co-orporation that Mr.Olaf Partetzke died from an Automobile accident
further investigation, I found out that he died without making a WILL,and
all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless.
I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr. Olaf
Partetzke did not declare any kin or relations in all his official
documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of US$
17,350,000.00 is still sitting in my Bank 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 inheritance Laws of the United Kingdom,
at the expiration of 5 (five) years, the money will revert to the ownership
of the Local Government Authorities here in Wales, United Kingdom, if
nobody applies to claim the fund.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you to stand in as the next
of kin to Mr. Olaf Partetzke so that the fruits 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 names and address
so that the attorney will prepare the necessary documents and affidavits
that will put you in place as the next of kin. We shall employ the services
of an attorney for drafting and notarization of the WILL and to obtain the
necessary documents and letter of probate/administration in your favor for
the transfer. The money will be paid into your account for us to share in
the ratio of 60% for me and 35% for you and 5% for Expenses Incurred in the
course of the transaction .
There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be
done by the attorney and with my position as the Manager with my bank will
guarantees the successful execution of this transaction. If you are
interested, please reply immediately to my private email box :
emorybarra@mail2web.com
Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details and relevant
documents that will help you understand the transaction. You should observe
utmost confidentiality, and 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.
Awaiting your urgent reply.
Thanks and regards. Emory Barra
