Dear Friend,
My name is Mr. James Parker; 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 know that a transaction of this magnitude will make
any one apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you that every document
that will bring about the success of this transaction will be provided by an
attorney here in London, 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 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 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 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 Eight 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. A scan copy of your international passport or driver’s license.
For our personal contact and mutual trust in each other, I shall be
compensating you with 50% of the above amount on final conclusion of this
project for your assistance, the balance 50% 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 on my private email (JamesParker@fstmail.com)
Best Regards,
Mr. James Parker.
