Dear Friend,
I am Mr Steven P. Nielson, Credit Manager in a reputable diplomatic securities deposit company in Europe.
I write to you in strict confidentiality of my need for your consent to act on behalf of me to receive funds in huge millions of dollars. This funds were deposited in our company for Five years now by a client whom is now in blessed memory.In brief, In the discharge of my duty,I stumbled on this domiciliary deposit file that was yet unclaimed and no claimant "Name and address" was never mention in the document in my possession but he DECLARED that the consignments will be claimed by his foreign business associate .Further investigation revealed that he died after two weeks of making the deposit with us.In brief,I am contacting you because I want you to deal with our security company to act as the foreign business partner mandated to make the claim of the money in two consignments in our custody.
Meanwhile, My request for you to cooperate with me to take possession of this money is occassioned by the fact that deposit unclaimed by the depositor or "next of kin" are often returned to the the government for claim,this I feel it should not happen that we can work together and get this money to better ourselves and give a sound future to our children.
>From aforementioned, I humbly write to you to co-operate with me and act as the beneficiary to claim the funds from my company since "Dr Kay Miller" declared that his business associate will come over to claim the consignment.And Since,it's crystal clear that no claimant will come for the consignment as my finding shows he died after two weeks of making this deposit,
In honesty what I want you to do is to accept to assist me make this claim.I shall avail you the contact information of the deposit security company with the pin code of the consignment, in your interest to co-operate with me to acquire this funds.My sincere guarantee to you is that there is no risk involve and you have got nothing absolutely to loss participating in this transaction with me.
Meanwhile, As soon as I get a positive interest from you,I shall immediately furnish you with the complete details of how you will make the claim of the consignments from the security company without any hinderance.I shall compensate you with 30% of the total amount in your interest to act to claim the consignment.
Let me remind you that absolute confidentiality is required from both of us to achieve complete success.
Please send your positive interest to me with your complete contact information to enable us commence transaction in earnest.
Thanks in anticipation of your co-operation.
