Subject: PLEASE I NEED YOUR URGENT ASSISTANCE
Hello,
Compliments of the season, my mail may seem a little strange for a person you do not know.I am writing you with the vision that we would be able to develop a mutual understanding between ourselves and probably move into a partnership with each other.My name is Mr. Matthew Barrett.I am the Chairman Board Executives, Barclays Bank Plc. I have a proposal that i would want to open up to you, this discussion requires a matured mind and a good sense of judgment.
I work with Barclays Bank Plc, my position and full identity would be given to you when i finaly come to see that we can build up some good level of trust amongst ourselves, as this my proposal would need a good level of understanding. On May 6th 1999, I assisted a client ( name also witheld for now), to make a (Fixed) Deposit for six calander months in my Bank Branch. He deposited Twenty Two million seven hundred thousand United states Dollars ( 22,700,000.00 Dollars ) Upon Maturity of the first six month, we sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no response from him. After another three months, we sent another reminder to know if he wanted our Bank to continue rolling over the interest, but we still did not get any response from him. I had to make personal efforts to reach him, since i was the one that personally guided him through when he was making the deposit. I finally discovered that this client was aboard the concorde Air Flight
which crashed, killing all passengers on board and unfortunately he and all the entire members of his family died in the crash, husband, wife, children and his wife's parents inclusive, it was quite a devastating story.
After thorough investigations, all attempts to trace his next of kin proved fruitless, as it was discovered that the client(depositor) did not declare any next of kin or relations in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paper work here at our Bank. I have been working on this for long time now, and from my own private investigations, i found out that this client was having some problems back in his country and was about to be probed by some companies just before his unfortunate death, because he was suspected to have done some shady deals and looted some of these monies from some companies back in his country.It was not known to his family or any other person that he had deposited money here in United Kingdom.Since then this money has been in my bank dormant and my bank has stopped rolling over interest, until the beneficiary comes to revive the account.Nobody has come to make claims to these funds in the past four years, because nobody knows about this
money and I believe No one will ever come forward to claim it, since the entire family was eventually wiped out.
In accordance with the Federal banking Laws and constitution here, at the expiration of (Seven) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the Government if nobody applies as the next of Kin to claim the funds. I have been working on this, because i see this as a 'Once in a life time opprtunity'.I need a person that i can trust, someone that i will guide to make claims to this money. As` his portfolio manager, I shall present you as a foreign partner to stand in as the next of kin to this client so that you and I can benefit from this 'FREE MONEY'. If you are ready to work with me, I will arrange for you to sign the BANK " Application Form" as well as detailed information on how this deal would be carried out. The money will be shared in the ratio: (60:40) Sixty percent (60) for me, Fourty percent (40) for you, for your assistance to make this dream come true. I give you my word and i guarantee that this transaction will be executed under legitimate arrangement
that will protect you and i from any breach of the law as I will use my position in the Bank to secure approvals and guarantee the successful execution of this transaction. This is my field and in have done a perfect home-work to ensure that we have a perfect deal.
I will be waiting to hear from you, but Please NOTE, that it is very important we keep any facts and details of this deal to ourselves alone, considering what is involved. I believe that you are matured enough to know your RIGHT and your LEFT. I am a straight forward person and i always go straight to the point, If this interests you, please reply me immediately. It will be better if you include your private telephone number, so that i can call you to speak with you personally and discuss other issues properly.
Best Regards,
Mr. Matthew Barrett.
