Subject: Looking Forward To Hearing from You
Dear Sir/Madam,
First and foremost I would like to apologize for infringing on your
privacy by sending you an unsolicited email, I would have given you a
call, but rather I decided to contact you via an email to get us acquainted
since it is a safer way of private communication. If you must know, I
came about your contact information through a random search with my
client's name on the Internet while trying to locate any link to him.
I am Dr. Malik Abdul a personal account adviser/officer to a great late
industrialist who has an account in one of the top banks here in
Malaysia.
It has been four years now since he died in the year 2000 without a
written or an oral will to the best of my knowledge from information I
gathered via his attorney here in Malaysia and since then nobody has
operated on his account again hence the money is floating and if I do not
remit this money out urgently it will be forfeited for nothing since the
bank has been sold on Monday, 19 September 2005 to another bank and the
management of the bank are now ready to release the fund to any
foreigner who has the correct information of the account before fully handing
over the management to the new bank. The owner of this account is a
foreigner and no other person knows about this account or anything
concerning it, the account has no other beneficiary. My investigation through
the National immigration department proved to me as well that he was
single as at the point of his entry into Malaysia.
As a matter of fact, I have decided to transfer this fund abroad for
investment. Your assistance as a foreigner is necessary because the
management of the bank will welcome any foreigner who has correct
information to this account which I will give you immediately, if you are
interested to do this business with me.
Firstly, before I will disclose the said amount to you, I must solicit
your strictest confidence in this transaction. This is by virtue of its
nature as being utterly confidential. I am sure and have confidence of
your ability and reliability to prosecute a transaction of this great
magnitude. I solicit your assistance to enable us transfer the said
amount into your safe account for onward investment. You can either provide
us with an existing account or to set up a new bank account immediately
to receive this money, even an empty bank account can serve to receive
this money, as long as you will remain honest to me till the end for
this important business trusting in you and believing that you will never
let me down either now or in future.
As soon as I hear from you, and upon your strong assurance that you
will not let me down once the fund goes into your account I will then
start to process the transfer of the fund to your account without further
delay.
If interested contact me urgently for further details.
Yours Faithfully,
Dr. Malik Abdul.
Kuala Lumpur,
Malaysia.
