Sir,
This contact is tantamount to an unflinching desire to establish
a long mutual business relationship based on trust and mutual
understanding.
I am IAN CARDLE,The Payment Co-ordinator of HFC Bank Limited LONDON,
ENGLAND.During the course of investigation it was found
that the sum of US$12.5M {Twelve Million Five Hundred Thousand US
Dollars} has been lying dormant in a suspense account of our Bank.
This fund belongs to Mr.DENNIS J PIERCE, Queens NY u.s.a and was safely
deposited
in a bank here for investment but unfortunately the dastardly act of the
terrorists
September
11th on the WTC building brought his transaction to a halt.
>From the latest information I received from the United States,Mr.DENNIS J
>PIERCE
was a victim of the Tuesday 11th September 2001 attack on the
World Trade Center {WTC}New York.
Going by the policy in our country as against civil servants operating
foreign account and also to have that kind of huge amount in our
local accounts,I solicited for an individual that would be of
assistance
in transferring this money into his foreign account for personal
investment purpose. Having found out that your city are known for
business acumen and trustworthiness in business dealings.
Because of this I have to solicit for your assistance,with an
unflinching
faith, that you will not betray me in this business.This is the
reason why I am asking for your assistance to enable me invest
the fund in your city,settle down with my family and also have you as
my mentor.
If you can handle the transfer for our joint benefit please get
back to me so we can discuss,as what is required now is either for
us to have you as his next of kin or to transfer the money in your
name.
I want you to understand that this transaction must be kept in utmost
confidentiality and secrecy as my future welfare hugely depend
on it because the bank here might claim the fund if they got to know.
Thank you for your co-operation in advance with an assurance that
this is the beginning of our long term business relationship.
We will discuss the percentage due when we talk.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours sincerely,
PROF.IAN CARDLE
Payment Co-ordinator
