Subject: Re: Request For Assistant
From: The Director, Foreign Remittance
National West minister Bank, London, (NATWEST).
London.
Sir,
A client , late Engineer Johnson Creek, an Oil Merchant / businessman ,
until his death two years ago, banked with us here at Nat west Bank Plc.,
London. Have a closing balance of six 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.
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 a foreign account as nominated by you
as the bequest beneficiary of the funds.
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 delete this massage please, if you are
not interested in the transaction and sorry for the unsolicited mail.
Thank you and best regards,
Yours faithfully,
Dr Anthony Smith.
