Subject: URGENT BUSINESS TRANSACTION
From: Andrew Charles Stevens
Chairman of the Management
Development & Compensation
committee,National Bank OF Iran,
Email address: andrew_charles@myway.com
Dear Sir,
I feel you are in a good position to facilitate the
execution of this noble transaction.
We will use this money to help the less
priviledged in oursociety at the same time helping
ourselves.
On December 8, 2004, a saui Arabia Oil
consultant/contractor with the NationalPetroleum
Corporation, Mrs.Ann Barbara Mayers made a numbered
time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar
months, valued at US$25,000,000.00(Twenty- five
Million Dollars).Upon maturity, we sent a
routine notification to her forwarding address but got
no reply.After a month,we sent a reminder andfinally
we discovered from her contract employers,
National Petroleum Corporation that Mrs.Ann Barbara
Myers died from a ghastly automobile accident.
On further investigation, I found out that she died
without making a WILL, and all attempts to trace his
next of kin was fruitless. I therefore made further
investigation and discovered that Mrs.Ann Barbara
did not declare any next of kin or relations in
all her official documents, including her Bank Deposit
paperwork in my Bank. This sum of US$25,000,000.00 is
still sitting in my Bank and the interest is being
rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each
year.No one will ever come forward to claim
it.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will
like you to stand in as the next of
kin to Mrs.Ann Barbara mayers so that the fruits of this
woman's labour will not get into the hands of some
corrupt government officials.
This is simple, Iwill like you to provide immediately
your full names and address so that the Attorney will
prepare the necessary documents and affidavits which
will put you in place as the next of kin. We shall
employ the services of two Attorneys for drafting and
notarization of the WILL and to obtain the necessary
documents and letter of probate/administration in your
favour for the transfer. We would need you as the next
of kin and sole beneficiary of the inheritance of Mrs.Ann Barbara Mayer.
The money will be paid to you, and we will share
it in the ratio of 70:30 There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this
transaction will be done by a reputable Attorney and my
position in the bank guarantees the
successful execution of this transaction. If you are
interested, please reply immediately via your private
email address . Upon your response, I shall then
provide you with more details and relevant documents
thatwill help you understand the transaction. Please
observe utmost confidentiality, and rest assured that
this transaction would be most profitable for both of
us because I shall require your assistance to invest
my share in your country.
Awaiting your urgent reply to :andrew_charles@myway.com
Andrew Charles Stevens
