Dear Friend,
My name is Mr.Jason smith, I am the credit manager in a bank here in
the United Kingdom. I am contacting you of a business transfer, of a
huge sum of money from a deceased account. Though I know that a
transaction of this magnitude will make any one apprehensive and
worried, but I am assuring you that everything has been taken care
off, and all will be well at the end of the day. I decided to contact
you due to the urgency of this transaction.
PROPOSITION; I am the account officer of a foreigner named Richard
Burson who died in an air crash along with his wife on the 31st
October 1999 in an Egyptian airline 990 with other passengers on
board. You can confirm this from the website below which was published
by BBC WORLD NEWS. WEBSITE.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/502503.stm
Since his death, none of his next-of-kin are alive to make claims for
this money as his heir, because they all died in the same accident
himself and his wife (May their soul rest in peace). We cannot release
the fund from his account unless someone applies for claim as the
next-of-kin to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines.
Upon this discovery, I now seek your permission to have you stand as a
next of kin to the deceased, as all documentations will be carefully
worked out by me for the funds (?,800,000.00) to be released in
your favor as the beneficiary's next of kin. Because after seven years
the money will be called back to the bank treasury as unclaimed bills
and the money 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 to this funds rather than allow the bank
directors to share this money amongst themselves at the end of the
year. It may interest you to know that we have secured from the
probate an order of mandamus to locate any of the deceased
beneficiaries. Please acknowledge receipt of this message in
acceptance of our mutual business endeavor 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 of the funds in your name.
2. Direct Telephone and fax numbers...For our personal contact and
mutual trust in each other.
(50/50)share for both party 50% comes to my account and 50% to your account.
I intend to retire after the conclusion of this transaction.
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 mail.
Kindly send response to this email address: iamjasonsmith@excite.com
Regards,
Mr.Jason smith
