Subject: Dear Friend
Dear Friend,
My name is Paul Howard, 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 will make any one
apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you that everything 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 Oilconsultant/contractor with the
Chinese Solid Minerals Corporation.
You can confirm 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 #6,100 000 00 GBP (Six million, one
hundred thousand Great British pounds sterling) which will be released in
your favor 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.
It may interest you to know that we have 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 . If this proposal
is acceptable by you, please endeavor to contact me immediately. Do not take
undue advantage of the trust I have bestowed in you, I await your urgent
mail now.
Best Regards,
Mr.Paul Howard.
