Subject: URGENT ATTENTION NEEDED
ATTENTION: PRESIDENT/CEO.
REQUEST FOR YOUR COOPERATION.
I am TOM C. TEXAS, the head of Offshore Investment Banking with City Finance Trust,
London. I came to know of you while searching for a capable hand that can assist in
this transaction involving no risk but your trust and confidentiality through a
Financial Consultant Attorney.
There was this Engineer, an British/Asian Citizen, Joseph L. Michael, an oil Merchant
Contractor with a Saudi-Arabia Multinational Company, who was among victims of Tsunami
Disaster in Asian Region. This man before his death was having a closing balance of
$20.000,000.00 Million (Twenty Million dollars) with City Finance Trust.
And our effort to get in touch with Late Joseph L. Michael or his next of kin proved
abortive. Now we have a new Chief Executive who is not aware of the money in question,
and we the few managment staff that are aware of the development doesn’t want him to
know, to avoid this money been declared "Unclaimed" and subsequently be donated to a
Charitable Organization.
To avoid this negative development, my colleagues and I have decided to seek your
cooperation to have you stand as the next of kin/Category ‘A’ Business Associate to
Late Joseph L. Michael so that the said fund ($20 Million) would be released and paid
in your favour as the next of kin. All documents and proof that will enable you claim
this fund without stress will be forwarded to you. Moreso, I want to inform you that
we have unanimously agreed to offer you 35% of the sum for the assistance and role you
are going to play in this transaction, 5% have also been arranged to take care of any
eventual expenses.
If this proposal interest you,and assure us that you will not take undue advantage of
the trust, we hope to bestow on you, please kindly reach me through the fax number
above. You are advised to forward to us your direct Tel/Fax numbers, including your
full name and private mobile phone number for fast communication.
Note: The fixed deposit Certificate of the funds is in my possession for safe keeping
and also we are going to finalise this transaction through our affiliated
correspondent bank.
Expecting a positive response from you.E-mail:- (tom_texas10@myway.com).
