Dea Sir
I apologize if the contents hereunder are contrary to
your moral ethics, but please treat it with absolute
secrecy and personal courtesy. I am Henry A. Johnson
an Auditor of a commercial Bank here in the United
Kingdom, in the process of auditing our bank
accounts I and one of my colleagues discovered that
there is a dormant account valued
at the sum £18,700,000.00 (eighteen million seven
hundred thousand British Pounds) and after due
verification of this account we discovered that the
account owner is
late and that is why the account has been dormant
and as such a £18,700,000.00 has been lying in the
bank unclaimed.
The idea of presenting somebody who is not related
to our deceased customer to act as his next of kin
came into our mind, that is how and why we have
contacted you to present you as his next of kin, so
that the £18,700,000.00 will be paid to you and we
can both disburse the fund according to the
percentage we will agree on. In view of this, I am
seeking for your co-operation and understanding to
stand as> the next of kin to our deceased customer,
to enable us claim the fund from my bank. Hence, if
this proposal is OK by you and you do not wish to
take undue advantage of my trust, then I hope to
bestow on you.
Please kindly get back to me immediately, strictly
via my private email address :henryjohnson20@walla.com
to enable me enlightens you on how we are to proceed. On getting
your response, we shall agree on the percentage of
disbursing the £18,700,000.00 between us, as we
intend to invest part of our own share in real
estate business in your country, and we would
appreciate if you can put us in the right part
investing in your Country.
I will not contact any person or company until I
hear from you, so as to enable me decides on what to
do next. Be rest assured that this business is
100%risk free.
We wait for your prompt response.
Regards,
Mr. Henry A Johnson
NB: PLEASE NOTE THAT IT DOES NOT MATTER IF YOU ARE
NOT RELATED TO MY LATE CUSTOMER; THE FUND WILL STILL
BE PAID TO YOU, SINCE WE ARE PRESENTING YOU AS HIS
NEXT OF KIN.
