Subject: I AM SORRY TO GET BACK TO YOU LATE ( URGENT REPLY )
Dear wong,
Thanks for your urgent mail, Pls I am Sorry to get back to you late.i was not arund the citiy.
I want to quickly add here that this project is legal and 100% risk free and I will equip you with all the relevant information for a smooth execution of this deal.
I am 58 years old and at my age having served the bank for 16 years, I decided to contact you for this business so that I will have something to fall back to when I retire from service.
In my department, I conducted a personal search on your country's profile for the next of kin to late Mr. Thomas Stockley who will claim this fund but to no avail and whomever I introduce as the next of kin will claim this money which prompt me to seek your assistance so that we can make business with this money to avoid this fund been paid into the national treasury as unclaimed fund.
During the search, your information was not the only one I found there, but after some days of praying and fasting, it was revealed to me that you are the only person who will help me secure this fund without denying me of my share at the end of it.
I believe that I am dealing with the right person for this business.
Regarding your question;
Dear Janice,Pls This is my private Email Address.i want you to Get Back with This New email Address i Give to you.
So far, there is no fee that will be required from you by my bank except for some few documents to back up your claims which the lawyer will procure .
3. In as much as you have an account that is valid, there is no need opening a new one ok, and you dont have to open a new one with my bank too because this fund is an inheritance once you stand as the next of kin.
Therefore at this juncture, it is paramount that you furnish me with your information viz:
1. Full names
2. Age
3. Nationality
4. Occupation
5. Company name /address
6. Telephone /cell phone
As soon as I acknowledge a return mail from you, I will send to you a draft of an application, which you will fill the information and send to the bank for the processing of this fund in your favor.
Note: It is expected of you to follow up matters with the authority concern without exposing my involvment to anybody to avoid my bank suspecting that I am the one selling out this secret information to you, while I will be working underground to feed you with all the necessary information for a smooth execution of this project.
I wait to hear from you.
Sincerely yours,
Dr Joe Douglas
