Subject: We can make it up
From The Desk of Mr Remigio Lepe
Manager Standard Chartered Bank Plc,
London,Uk.
Priavte Emails:remigiolepe@hotmail.com
Attention:
I am Mr. Remigio Lepe a citizen of mexico but based in UK.Branch
Manager Standard Chartered Bank Plc,London branch. I have a profitable
business proposition for you and I.
A British Oil consultant and contractor with the Kruger Gold
Company,Mr. Raymond Beck made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar
months, valued at US$16,000,000.00 (Sixteen Million United State
Dollarsin 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 contract employers, the Kruger Gold Company that Mr.
Raymond Beck died in a plane crash along with his wife in Egypt Air Flight
990, 1999 air crash.
(for more information about this crash and person you can contact this
website
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/502503.stm
Since we got this information about his death and on further
investigation, I found out that he died without making a WILL, and all attempts
to trace his next of kin was fruitless. I therefore made further
investigation and discovered that Mr. Raymond Beck did not declare any kin or
relations in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit
paperwork in my Bank.
This sum of US$16,000,000.00 is still sitting in my Bank and the
interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year.
No one will ever come forward to claim it. According to Laws of United
Kingdom, at the expiration of 7 (seven) 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 as a foreigner to
stand in as the next of kin to Mr. Raymond Beck so that the fruits of this
old man's labor will not get into the hands of some corrupt government
officials and I am contacting you by faith believeing that you will not
betray me when you see this money into your account as we do not meet
before.
This is simple, I will like you to provide immediately your full names
and address so that the attorney will prepare the necessary documents
and affidavits that will put you in place as the next of kin.
We shall employ the services of an attorney for drafting and
notarization of the WILL and to obtain the necessary documents and letter of
probate/ administration in your favor for the transfer. A bank account in
any part of the world that you will provide will then facilitate the
transfer of this money to you as the beneficiary/next of kin.
The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio
of 60% for me and 40% for you. There is no risk at all as all the
paperwork for this transaction will be done by the attorney and my position
as the Branch Manager guarantees the successful execution of this
transaction.
I like to fully explain to you the reason why I contacted you in this
business. And it is all about what I am currently going through in life.
The main reason why I decided to do this transaction is because I was
shouldered with a burden by the management of my bank as regards loans I
authorized in my branch for some Customers.
The customers have over the years refused to pay back or service their
loans. Based on that, management of my bank decided to suspend all my
benefits and salary Entitlements until I get these customers to return
the money they borrowed.
I have served for some good years as a branch manager in my Current
bank, but have nothing to show for it in terms of savings.
Because of the enormous hardship I and my family are facing, I had to
spend all the little savings I have to take care of them.
The last asset I have which I cherish very much is my car which I have
to sale to support in this business. In other words, if you are willing
to work with me let me know immediately so that I shall t provide you
with more details and relevant documents that will help you understand
the transaction.
And also note that this transaction would be most profitable for both
of us because I shall require your assistance to invest my share in your
country to avoid suspicions to my personality here in my country.You
can contact me with remigiolepe@hotmail.com
Thanks,
Mr.Remigio Lepe.
