FROM:MR ANDREA KELLY
REMITTANCE DIRECTOR;
South Centre Bank, London,
United Kingdom
Dear Friend,
It is my humble pleasure to write you this confidential letter
irrespective of the fact that you do not know me. Hence, I solicit
your strictest confidence in this transaction, this is by virtue
of it's nature as being utterly confidential and top secret as I
am writing you in confidence for good relationship. My Name is
MR.ANDREA KELLY, I am the the Director of Foreign Remittance in the
South Centre Bank. I have decided to contact you on a business
transaction that will be very beneficial to both of us.
During my Auditing of the Bank's Accounts for last month, I came across
a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person (ABDELDAYEM
EL-KHATIB ABDULLAH). An Iraqi Citizen who was among the people that Died
during the recent war in Iraq. His death occured was so unfornately
because he was an Oil Magnate here in United Kingdom and he has some
companies in Iraq because his Family based there. During his visit to
Oversee his companies and entire Family in Iraq last year, the recent War
started in Iraq and he died along with his Family. Before his Death, he
had the sum of US$2.5Million in a Fixed Deposit Account in this Bank and
the Money matured since November last year.
Right now, the Money is lying unclaimed in our custody hence there is no
next of kin mentioned in his file with this Bank and there is no how we
can reach any of his relatives. The said mount involved is the sum of
US$2.500,000.00 (TWO MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS).
Upon my personal finding on this matter, I kept this information secret
to myself until now that I am contacting you. In view of the fact that the
deceased customer is a foreigner (from a different country), it is
Officially important for the involvement of a foreigner who wil pose as a
next-of-kin. I will use my exalted position in this Bank to present you
as his Next of Kin as you can be his relative, friend or Cousin and the
Money (US$2.5Million) will be Safely ransfered into your own bank account
in your country.
Before I made up my mind to contact you, I have concluded every
arrangement to ensure that you receive the funds successfully as the next
of kin. Also I have put in place necessary machinery for a hitch free
transfer of this Money to your Bank Account nominate in any part of the
world. All I need from you mostly is your trustworthiness, Honesty and
good cooperation. Based on that, send me immediately your name, telephone
numbers, office or Residential address, company name and Fax number
(if any), and your Bank account particulars where the fund will be
transferred into for you. Because you shall be officially regarded as the
New Beneficiary/ Next of Kin that will be Legally approved as the entitled
owner of the US$2.5Million. As soon as the Money is transfered and confirmed
into your account, you will be entitled to 40% of the total sum as
gratification, while 60% will be for me. Later on, I must invest my 60% in
your country based on your advise and you will be the dministrator of all
the investments that I shall have in your country pending when I will resign
from the Services of this Bank.I have a plan to resign my job upon your
receipt of the fund in your account. This sum of US$2.5M is presently
Floating in an account here in this Bank and No one will ever come forward
to claim it and according to the Law of my country, at the expiration of
Two (2) years the money will revert to the ownership of the State
(Government) if nobody applies to claim the fund. This prompted me to
contact
you. I contacted you because it is against our code of ethics to own and
operate foreign accounts and I shall raised all necessary documents in your
name which shall legally prove/ confirm you as the actual next of kin to the
Former/Late beneficiary. This is simple, I will like you to provide
immediately your full names and address so that the lawyer will prepare the
necessary documents for the drafting and notarization of the WILL and obtain
the Vital documents and letter of probate/administration in your favour to
show that you are the next of kin to the deceased. There is no risk involved
at all, the paperwork for this transaction will be done legally, this will
guarantee the successful execution of the transaction. If you are
interested,
please reply immediately, upon your response, I shall provide you with more
details and relevant documents that will help you understand the transaction
better.
Note that if you are Afraid of Sending me your account information, I
suggest that you Open a New Account with Zero Balance (NO MONEY INSIDE)
and we shall effectively use it for this transaction provided that it can
be able to Accomodate the Funds. I require you to maintain the
confidentiality of this ransaction because it is important due to the fact
that I am still in active services with the South Bank Centre, London,
United
Kingdom.Immediately I recieve your response indicating your interest, I
shall
send you more details. Remember that your Faithfulness, and Confidentiality
is mostly required.
