Dear Sir
Required Trust
I am contacting you to partner with me to move the sum of
£8,320,000.00 (Eight Million, Three Hundred and Twenty Thousand Pounds) from my
Bank, Royal Bank of Scotland, to an account abroad. I therefore write
to ask that you quietly look for a reliable and honest person or
organization that will be capable of providing a bank account or could
set up a new bank account that will serve the purpose of receiving
this fund. Even an empty account can also serve as long as honesty and
integrity is adhered to till the end of the transaction and I hope you
will never let me down.
As the Auditor-General, in the course of auditing, I discovered a
floating fund in an account which was opened on 21st July, 2003. After
going through the company records and files, I discovered that:
(1) No one has operated this account since 24th November, 2004;
(2)The owner of the account died without an heir; hence the money has been floating. AND IF I DO NOT REMIT THIS MONEY URGENTLY, IT WOULD BE FORFEITED FOR NOTHING.
The owner of the account, Late Mr. Jørgen Ottesen (SNR) a Danish by
Nationality and businessman who died since 2004 was the owner of this
account. He was until his death the Chairman/Managing Director of
Morten Broberg GmbH. No other person knows about this account and
there was no known beneficiary. My company's management/board of
directors has tried unsuccessfully to locate any of his foreign next
of kin/beneficiary to come up for claims of his estate and all have
proved to no avail.
It is because of the perceived possibility of not being able to locate
any of his next of kin (he had no wife nor children according to his
records here), that the Management of my Bank under the influence
of her Chairman and Members of the Board, are of the opinion that the
fund may be declared unclaimable and forfeited.
In this regard, my trusted Deputy and I resolved to have you stand in
as the next of kin to Late Mr. Jørgen Ottesen (SNR) so that the fund
will be released and paid into your account or such account that may
be provided by you as the beneficiary/next-of-kin to late Mr. Jørgen
Ottesen (SNR). All documents and proofs to enable us get this fund
have been carefully worked out.
In addition, we have secured from the probate registry, an order of
MANDAMUS empowering us to locate any of the deceased's beneficiaries
and more so, I am assuring you that this transaction is 100% Risk
Free. I will require your urgent reply so that I shall arrange to make
the name of the beneficiary in your favour both in our Bank and
also with the Probate Registry in the Department of Justice.
Kindly forward your telephone, fax numbers and bank account details
that will be used to transfer this money. I am ready to give you 30%
of the total sum for assisting me.
I look forward to your prompt reply through my confidential email
above or my alternative e-mail:david_timms@zonai.com for security and
confidential reasons.
Best Regards
David Timms
