Subject: PROJECT DETAIL/ I NEED YOUR ASSISTANCE
Dear Friend,
My name is ROBERT GERG ; I am a senior banker in a bank here in the United
Kingdom. I am contacting you for a business transfer, of a huge sum of
money from a deceased account. Though I know that a transaction of this
magnitude that will make any one apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring
you that every documents that will bring about the success of this
transaction would be provided and all will be well at the end of the day. I
decided to contact you due to the urgency of this transaction.The deceased
person who died Neal Walker died in an air crash along with his wife on the
31st October 1999 in an Egyptian airline 990 with other passengers on board
was an American Oil consultant/contractor with the Chinese Solid Minerals
Corporation. You canconfirm his death from the website below which was
published by BBC WORLD NEWS.
WEBSITE.http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/502503.stm
Since his death, none of his next-of-kin are alive to make claims for this
money as his heir, because they all died in the same accident himself and
his wife (May their soul rest in peace). We cannot release the fund from his
account unless someone applies for claim as the next-of-kin to the deceased
as indicated in our banking guidelines.Upon this discovery, I now seek your
permission to have you stand as a next of kin to the deceased, as all
documentations will be carefully worked to make you the beneficiary to the
funds £4,500 000 00 GBP (Four million, five hundred thousand Great British
pounds sterling) which will be released in your favour as the next of kin.
Because after six years the money will be called back to the bank bond
treasury as unclaimed bills and the money shared amongst the directors of
the bank.
so it is on this note I decided to seek for whom his name shall be used as
the next of kin/beneficiary to this funds rather than allow the bank
directors to share this money
amongst themselves at the end of the year.may interest you to know that we
have It
secured from the probate an order of mandamus to locate any of the deceased
beneficiaries.
Please acknowledge receipt of this message in acceptance of our mutual
Business endeavor by furnishing me with the following information if you are
interested.
1. Full names and address,
2. Telephone and fax Number.
3. Your occupation.
For our personal contact and mutual trust in each other. I shall be
compensating you with 35% of the above amount on final conclusion of this
project for your assistance, the balance 65% shall be for me ,because I
intend to retire after the conclusion of this transaction.
You are been advised to reply me on this Email.robertgerg005@yahoo.co.au
Best Regards,
ROBERT GERG
