London WC1X 0DW, UK
Occupations: External Auditor
Do accept my sincere apologies if my mail does not meet your personal ethics
although,I wish to use this medium to get in touch with you first because
it's fastest means.I am an extenal auditor of a well known Bank here in the
United Kingdom.
In one of our peroidic auditing I discorved a dormant account with holding
balance of 15,000,000(Fifteen Million British Pounds)which has not been
operated for the past three years.From my investigations and
confirmations,the owner of this account,a foreigner by
name Mr.Gregory .B.Wilson died in July 19,2003 in plane crash and since
then nobody has done anything as regards the claiming of this money because
he has no family members who are aware of the existence of neither the
account nor the funds.
I have secretly discussed this matter with a top senior minister official of
the federal ministry of finance here and we have agreed to find a reliable
foreign partner to deal with us although due to his possition he did not
want to take active part but as soon as you follow my instructions
everything will be successfull because we will be woking hand in hand with
him.We thus propose to do business with you,standing in as the next of kin
of these funds from the deceased and after due legel processes have been
followed the fund will be released to your account without deley and we will
use it for investment and to assist the less privelaged in the society
because if we left the fund with the government it will be fortified for
nothing and will be used to suppress the poor masses in the society.
This transaction is totally free of risk and troubles as the fund is
legitimate and does not originate from drug, money laundry, terrorism or any
other illegal act.Finally, I will give you 35% for your coporation, 5% will
be for expenses both parties might have incurred during this process. On
receipt of your response I will furnish you with detailed clarification as
it relates to this mutual benefit transaction.
Thank you for your time and attention.
Warmest regards,
Mr:Rick Nelson.
