Subject: URGENT PROPOSAL. YOUR ASSISTANT IS NEEDED PLEASE
URGENT PROPOSAL
Dear Sir,
My name is Mr.Johnson Harry, the Manager Mauritius Commercial Bank Limited.
I have an urgent
and very confidential business proposal for you.
On May 6, 2002, an American Oil consultant contractor with Mauritius Mining
Corporation,
Mr Buckhard Anderson made a numbered time of Fixed Deposit for twelve
calendar months
valued at US$20,000,000.00 Twenty Million Dollars in my branch,upon the
maturity time
of the fund,l sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but
got no reply.
After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his
contract employers
from the Island of Mauritius Mining Corporation, that Mr Buckhard Anderson
died in an
automobile accident,l found out that he died without making a WILL and all
attempts
to trace his relatives or next of
kin was fruitless.
I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr Buckhard
Anderson did
not declare any next of kin or relations in all his official documents
including his
Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of US$20,000,000.00 is still
in my Bank
and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of
each year.
Since his death no one has ever come forward to claim this fund. According
to the Isl
and of Mauritius Law, at the expiration of 5(five) years, the money will
revert to the
Island of Mauritius Government if nobody applies for claim
the fund.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a Foreign partner to
stand in as
the next of kin to Mr Buckhard Anderson so that the fruits of this old
man's labour
will not get into the hands of some corrupt Government officials. This is
simple.
I will like you to provide immediately for us Your full name, Address,
Occupation, Age,
Your private telephone and fax numbers respectively to enable us change
some necessary
document in your name and file for the claim of this said fund as the next
of kin.
The money will be paid into your account you are going to provide for
us.Already the
share ratio of 60% is for us the officials here while 30% is for you the
account owner,
and 10% has been set aside incase of any expenses that may be incurred.This
is a free risk deal,
as all the paperwork for this transaction will be done by us and my
position as the branch
Manager guarantees the successful execution of this transaction. If you are
interested,
please reply immediately. I shall then provide you with more details and
relevant
documents that will help you understand the
transaction.
Please observe utmost confidentiality and rest assured that this
transaction would
be most profitable for both of us because l shall require your assistance
to invest
my share in your country.
Awaiting your urgent reply.
Thanks and God bless.
Mr.Johnson Harry.
