Hello
I apologize if the contents hereunder are contrary to your moral ethics, but
please treat it with absolute secrecy and personal courtesy. I am Morgan
Reid
I work in a commercial Bank here in the United Kingdom.
I have a business proposal I wish to bring to your notice. There is used to
be a customer of our bank who used to own a company in London UK, while he
was running his company in London he was invading tax payment, which the UK
government eventually found out and the company was shut down and he was
eventually repatriated to his home country and declared ‘PERSONAL NON
GRANTA'' by the UK government, meaning he cannot enter UK anymore. All his
accounts was frozen, but he had an account he operates with another of his
partner, which I am the account officer, the UK government did not freeze
that account as I did not declare it to the government since he is not the
only signatory to the account.
This my customer that was repatriated thought all the accounts were frozen
including this particular account in question which have in it the sum of
$9.500,000.00, the account has been dormant for the past two years now and I
have been monitoring the account personally. I have decided to contact you
as a foreigner as I cannot claim the fund myself in other for you to stand
claim as next of kin to other partner whom he operated the account with, who
is equally not aware that the account still exists. With my position in the
bank, all I need to do is to put your name as the next of kin to the fund
and the fund will be paid to you hence; you have the same last name with the
partner.
I want to assure you that this transaction is 100% risk free and as it will
be handled in a legitimate manner. If you are willing co operate with me in
this transaction we shall split the fund on equal basis of 50% each.ie 50%
for you and 50% for me.
You can reach me in my confidential e-mail morgan_reid2@yahoo.co.uk
Respectfully,
Morgan Reid.
