Dear Friend
I would like to begin by way of introduction. My name is Morgan Daniel,
a
principal account officer with an offshore bank in the Bahamas. The
purpose
of this letter is to seek your assistance in a very important financial
matter which I believe would be very beneficial to us.
The financial matter is a bank account with a current balance in the
amount
of $5.9 Million USD. The account which was opened with our bank in
February
2000 by a private investor as investment account, have remained
unclaimed
since our banks asset liquidation/account settlement process began in
May
2004. Since then, the office of the official liquidator appointed by
the
Central Bank of the Bahamas have not been able to contact the principal
account owner or any of his close relatives in whose favor the value of
the
investment can be paid. If unredeemed by the end of april 2006, the
account would be transferred into public trust as unclaimed investment
funds
in the Bahamas.
My colleague and I want your assistance so that we can file a claim for
this
account. Since we are currently working at the office of the official
liquidator, we are very confident that with your cooperation, the value
of
the account can be ours for good as there is no appointed beneficiary
for
this account. We decided to contact you because you surprisingly share
something in common with the principal account owner, which we believe
would
work well in our favor as far as this transaction is concerned.
I am quite aware that you may feel completely apprehensive about this
proposition. Dont worry, as the process of filing a claim for this
account
is perfectly safe with no risks involved, and it is not subject to any
inquiry since we will be handling it directly on your behalf in the
Bahamas.
My colleague and I are in position to make the payment of this account
possible, as long as you are ready to meet with us and give us strong
guarantee that our interest as well as that of two important key
players in
this transaction will be well secured. We have been monitoring this
account
for sometime now, and only decided to redeem it for our benefit rather
than
allow it to be transferred into public trust, since the principal
account
owner could not be located..
Please acknowledge the receipt of this letter so that we can provide
you
with more clarification about the claim, and how we intend to make it
beneficial to all the parties involved. Please note that it is very
important that we meet, as we do require some guarantees that our
interest
as well as that of the other two key players in this transaction would
be
well secured. Please reach me at this private Email address:
m_daniel2005@hotmail.com
Sincerely Yours,
Mr. Morgan Daniel.
