Mr. Kim Heebum,
Director of operations,
Kwangju Bank.
7-12 Daein-dong Dong-gu,
Kwangju 501-030 KOREA
Dear sir,
Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr. Kim HeeBum director of
operations of the Kwangju Bank,South Korea. I have an important business
suggestion for you.
I honestly apologize and hope I do not cause you much embarrassment by
contacting you through this means for a transaction of this magnitude,
but due to urgency and nature of the details required I have no choice.
Before the U.S and Iraqi war our client Jeremy Smith Osborn,a british
national who own an oil servicing company in Iraqi owned and operate a
fixed deposit account with my bank, with a value of
Twenty Four millions Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars only in
my branch. Upon maturity several Notice was sent to him, even during
and after the war severally. We later found out that Osborn and his
family had been killed during the war in a bomb blast that hit their
home.
After further investigation it was also discovered that there was know
declaration of any next of kin in his official papers including the
paper work of his bank deposit.
These funds are still lying in my bank and no one will ever come
forward to claim it.
What bothers me most is that according to the to the laws of my country
at the expiration 4 years the funds will revert to the ownership of the
Korean Government if
nobody applies to claim the funds.
Against this backdrop, my suggestion to you is that I will like you as
a foreigner to stand as the next of kin so that you will be able to
receive his funds.
I want you to know that I have had everything planned out so that we
shall come out successful. I have contacted an attorney that will prepare
the necessary document that will back you up as the next of kin to
Major Jeremy Smith Osborn, all that is required from you at this stage
is for you to provide me with your Full Names and Address so that the
attorney can commence his job. After you have been made the next of kin,
the attorney will also fill in for claims on your behalf and secure the
necessary approval and letter of probate in your favor for the fund to
be transfered to a good offshore bank account that you will open for
the transaction.
There is no risk involved at all in this matter as this funds will
change ownership
to you,only through legal process.No law will be broken at all in the
course of this dealings.
Please endeavor to observe utmost discretion in all matters concerning
this issue.Once the funds have been transferred to an offshore bank
account we shall share in the ratio of 65 Percent for me, 30 Percent for
you and 5 percent for expenses.
Should you be interested please send me your full names,age,Telephone number,
occupation and address.
Sincerely,
Kim HeeBum
