Subject: Essential Mutual Benefit
Compliments,
I wish to accost you with a request that would be of immense benefit to both
of us. Being a senior accounts manager with Halifax Bank here in London, it
is possible that we may be tempted to make fortune out of our late client\'s
situations, when we cannot help it, or left with no better option. The issue
I am presenting to you is a case of my late customer who before his death
made a fixed deposit of US$8,000,000.00 for 24 calendar months with my bank
in March 1997.
It was most unfortunate that him and his wife died on the same day in an
auto crash in september 1998. I am now faced with confusion of who to pass
the fortune to.
According to the English banking law, the deposit is supposed to be
bequeathed to the government if left unclaimed after a certain period of
time. However, I don\'t belong to that school of thought which proposes that
the fortunes of unlucky people be given to the government.
Since I learnt of his death,I have managed his account expecting any of his
extended relatives to come forward to claim his money but all attempts to
trace his relatives over the years has been fruitless since he did not
declare any of his relatives information in his banking records with us.
Added to this, professional ethics obligates us to act with extreme
confidentiality when dealing with clients accounts of this type.
Having waited for these years,I am fully convinced that no one would turn up
to execute the letter of administration to claim his funds,hence I decided
to contact you to come in as the next of kin to my late customer so that the
funds totalling US$8,000,000.00 can then be transferred to your nominated
bank account in your country within the next 5 working days after we have
filed in your claims transfer application to the bank.
I will prepare every operation that will assist you to claim the funds as
the next of kin and everything will be left between you and me. The share
would be 40% of the total funds for you and 60% for me.
Again, I feel that you may be apprehensive and consider this amount too big
for you to defend. It does not matter, as there are documents to back it up.
This transaction is risk free and as the most senior account manager with
the bank be rest assured that all documents to enable you get this fund as
the next of kin will be carefully worked out by me. Do not be bothered that
you are not related in any way to my late customer as I am in position to
affix your name as the relative of my late client.
Kindly send your reply to this ( Email : danielgg@aqualityplace.com )
enclosing your Full Names, Mailing Address and Phone Number to my private
email address below.
I need not emphasize the confidentiality of this issue and I therefore
appeal to you not discuss this request with anybody, even if you decline to
take full advantage of this great and urgent opportunity in my bank.
I look forward to your quick reply.
Sincerely,
Mr.Daniel Gerard
Senior Accounts Manager.
