Re: preposition request of next of kin to late engineer creek.
Sir,
A client , late Engineer Johnson Creek, an Oil Merchant / contractor with the British high commission , until his death two years ago in a ghastly air crash, banked with us here at Nat west Bank PLC., London. And have a closing balance of twelve million pounds which the bank now unquestionably expects to be claimed by any of his available relatives or next of kin or alternatively be donated to charity. Fervent valuable efforts are being made by the Bank to get in touch with any of the Creek family or relatives but all have proved to no avail.
It is because of the perceived possibility of not going to be able to locate any of late Engr. Johnson Creek's next of kin (he had no known wife and children) that the management under the influence of our Chairman, board of directors, has arranged for the fund to be declared "UNCLAIMABLE" and then be subsequently donated to charity, or possibly to our individual pockets.
In order to avert this negative development, myself and some of my trusted colleagues in the bank now seek for your cooperation to have you stand as late Engr. Johnson Creek's next of kin so that the funds would be subsequently transferred and paid into your bank account as the beneficiary.
All arrangement to enable you get this fund have been carefully worked out and we are assuring you a 100% risk free for your involvement. More so, you are to share 50% of the total amount. Another 50% would be for me and my colleagues for investment purposes in your country. If this proposal is comfortable by you and you do not wish to take advantage of the trust we hope to bestow on you, then kindly get back to me immediately via my secured e-mail (anthony_foreignoperations@yahoo.co.uk) furnishing me with your most confidential telephone, fax number and exclusive e-mail so that I can forward to you the relevant information’s of this transaction and the way forward.
Based on that, I kindly advice you to please if by no means you are not interested in this transaction, please delete this massage and sorry for the unsolicited mail.
Yours faithfully,
Dr Anthony Bruce.
