Dear Friend,
I am Mr Mike Peters Senior Accounts Officer of
Philippine National Bank Plc. London, I have urgent
and very confidential business proposition for you. On
June 6, 2000, Mr. Daniel Ramesh made a numbered time
(Fixed) Deposit for forty-eight months, (being four
years) valued at US$20,000,000.00, (Twenty Million,
Dollars) in my branch.
Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his
forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, we
sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his
employers, that Mr. Daniel Ramesh died from tsunami on
his holidays in Thailand 26 December 2004. On further
investigation, I found out that he died without making
a WILL and all attempts to trace his next of kin were
fruitless.
I therefore made further investigation and discovered
that Mr. Daniel Ramesh did not declare any next of kin
or relations in all his official documents, including
his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of
US$20,000,000 has carefully been moved out of my bank
to a security company for safekeeping. No one will
ever come forward to claim it.
According to British Law, at the expiration of (three)
years, the money will revert to the ownership of the
British Government if nobody applies to claim the
fund.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you to
stand in as the owner of the money I deposited it in a
security company in two trunk boxes though the
security company does not know the contents of the
boxes as I tagged them to be photographic materials
for export. I am writing you because I as a public
servant (working with the bank), I cannot operate a
foreign account or have an account that is more than
$1m.
I want to present you as the owner of the boxes in the
security company so you will be able to claim them
with the help of my attorney. This is simple. I will
like you to provide immediately your full names and
address so that the Attorney will prepare the
necessary documents which will put you in place as the
owner of the boxes.
The money will be moved out for us to share in the
ratio of 70% for me and 30% for you. There is no risk
at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will
be done by the Attorney and this will guarantee the
successful execution of this transaction.
If you are interested, please reply immediately via my
email address upon your response, I shall then provide
you with more details and relevant documents that will
help you understand the transaction.
Please observe utmost confidentiality, and rest
assured that this transaction would be most profitable
for both of us because I shall require your assistance
to invest my share in (Buying of properties like
houses, hotels and doing charity works etc)
Please do send me your private/mobile telephone fax
number so that we can have a smooth communication.
Awaiting your urgent reply
Regards,
Mr Mike Peters.
