I have a new email address!You can now email me at: sourcess_business@yahoo.com
Dear Sir/Ma ,
My name is Alan Reeves, I am the credit manager with a
bank here in the United Kingdom. I am contacting you in respect
of a transaction of very great importance. Though I know
thatcontact this nature will make any one apprehensive and
worried, I am assuring you that everything has been taken care
of, and you have nothing to fear at all and i would be very glad
if you would allow me bring you to a clearer picture of what is on
ground, what we intend to do and how we intend to do it.This enquiry
involves a client who shares your surname.
It was brought to my knowledge that the aforementioned client
died intestate and nominated no next of kin to the title
over investments made. We came to know of you via the
London. Global. Database.Center (L.G.D.C.) Hence i am making
this contact. The essence of this communication with you is to
request that you provide me with information on 3 KEY
issues.1. Are you aware of any relative/relation having the
same surname, whose last known, contact address was Brussels,
Belgium?2. Are you aware of any investment of considerable
value made bysuch a person with any Private Bankers?
3 Can you establish beyond reasonable doubt your
eligibility to assume status of next of kin to the deceased?
He died in an air crash along with his wife on the
31st October 1999 in an Egyptian airline boeing 990 with other
passengers on board. You can confirm this fact from the website
which was aired by the BBC WORLD NEWS:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/502503.stm Since his death, none of his relatives or associates
have come forward to lay claims to his funds as
next-of-kin, and on my
own i have made concerted effort to locate any of his
relatives but all proved abortive.
Based on the ethics and policies of the bank,it would
be declared unclaimed and taken to the treasury of the bank as
capital base of the bank, because already the account has been
tagged dormant because it has exceeded the normal
functional number of years.We cannot release the funds from his account unless
someoneapplies for it or lays claim as the next-of-kin to the
deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines. Upon this
discovery, I now seek your permission and assistance to present you and
have you stand as a next of kin to the deceased,so that the
funds can be released and transfer to you, as all documentations
will be carefully worked out by me for it to be released in
yourfavor as the beneficiary's next of kin, if not the
members of the board of directors will utilise it for their personal
aggrandisement. Because after four years as this is
the fifth year going it will be called back to the bank treasury as
unclaimed bills and shared amongst the directors of the bank, so
it is on this note i decided to seek for whom his name shall be
used as the next of kin/beneficiary rather than allow the bank
directors to share it amongst themselves at the end of the year.
It may interest you to know that I have secured from
the probate commission an order of mandamus to locate any of the
deceased beneficiaries. Please acknowledge receipt of this
message in acceptance of our mutual business endeavour by
furnishing me with the following information if you are interested.
1. A beneficiary name, in order for me to prepare the
document for
transfer in your name.
2. Direct Telephone and fax numbers...For our personal
contact and
for easy communication between both of us.
Upon your acceptance I shall send you my identity for
more confidentiality and trust in each other as i shall
trust you not to elope at completion.
If this proposal is acceptable by you, please endeavor
to contact me immediately. Do not take undue advantage of the
trust I have bestowed in you, I await your urgent response. Contact
me via this email address please:alen_reeves01@uymail.com
Regards,
Alan reeves.
