Subject: TRUST ME.
Dear VICTIM-FULLNAME,
I very much appreciate your cautiousness to do this business as that wills institute discipline, confidentiality and honesty in the business that requires utmost trust. It is very unfortunate that you have passed to an experience similar to this, but I stand to assured you that this is different from your previous encounter.
Though most banks now have dormant accounts normally owed by expatriate, in most cases these expatriates were eliminated by their accounts officer in other to claim the huge amount in the account, but when they are not in position to provided the necessary documents that will facilitate the exercise, they ends up frustrating the innocent foreigner that wanted to help them in claiming the fund as next of kin, thereby coursing the foreigner, unnecessary loses.
You don’t need to doubt me like I stated in my proposal, I am an account officer with Guaranty Trust Bank and I was the only person that knows about the abandoned sum of 16million Dollars in an account in my department that belong to one of our foreign customers Late Mr. Mark David who unfortunately lost his life in auto crash including his wife and only daughters and having been in the banking circle for more than two decades, I want you to have in mind that I intend to use only a very secured and legitimate banking procedures in line with banking inheritance claim Act" and how it concerns this kind of transaction to move this money out of my bank in your name as the beneficiary and next of kin to the account you will provide without any problem for the mutual benefit of both us.
The bank has been waiting for any of the relatives to come-up for the claim but nobody has done that. I have personally and unsuccessfully tried to locate the relatives for 4 years now before I decided to seek your consent to present you as the next of kin/ Will Beneficiary to the deceased so that the proceeds of this account valued at 16Million Dollars can be paid to you. This will be disbursed or shared between you and me, with me taking 50% percentages as the initiator, while you take 50% for your assistance.
I want to assure you that there is no risk attached to this transaction. I will ever remain indebted to you if your willingness to assist me in this very transaction becomes real. All necessary transfer approvals will be obtained from the bank and our government ministries including the judiciary all you need to do is to stand as the next of kin to our deceased customer authorized to claim his estate in case of death including the said amount.
I appreciate the fact that you are being cautious, but I assured you this is not a scam, neither do I have any evil intention to get your personal banking information. Your bank information required is only to use and apply to the ministry of finance to obtain foreign payment Control Approvals for the transfer to be certified to be made to your account in your name. In other words, if you are not still convinced of my sincerity, you can stay out of the business since you are not under force to do it, moreover I needed some one that will have unbiased mind for the success of the business.
I will remain committed with the disbursement ratio, without any conflict.
Thanks for your immediate reply.
God bless
MR.HASSAN MALIK
