Subject: urgent
My Friend,
This is personal information to you.It is a pleasure, I am Mr Fredrick Hall. I work with Sun National Bank plc London as account supervisor. I have urgent and very confidential business proposition for you. On March 24, 1999, a Foreign oil consultant/contractor with the London oil Corporation, Mr.Tom Brawn made a Fixed Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at USD$27,500,000.00, (Twenty-Seven Million Five hundered thousand Dollars) in my branch. Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, I sent a reminder and finally I discovered from his contract employers, the London oil Corporation that Mr.Tom Brawn died from a rebel attack. On further investigation, I found out that he died without making a Will, and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless.
I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr.Tom Brawn did not declare any kin or relations in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of USD$27,500,000.00 has carefully/confidentially been moved out of my bank to a Finance security company in the Europe for safekeeping. No one can ever come forward to claim it. According to London Law, at the expiration of 8 (eight) years,the money will revert to the ownership of the London Government if nobody applies to claim the fund. Consequently, my proposal is that I want you as a Foreigner to stand in as the rightful owner of the money.
I deposited it in a security company in trunk box though the security company does not know the contents of the box as I tagged them to be photographic materials for home uses to export . In the circumstance, I want to present you as the rightful owner of the boxes in the security company so that you can be able to claim them with the hel! p of my attorney. This is simple. I would like you to provide immediately your full names and address as well as your direct telephone and fax number so that the Attorney will prepare the necessary documents which will put you in the right place as the owner of the box.
The money will be moved out for us to your country and share in the ratio of 80% for me and 20% for you. There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be done by the Attorney and this will guarantees the successful execution of this transaction on your behalf, please reply immediately via my email address. Upon your response, I shall then provide you with my phone number and more details with relevant documents that will help you understand the transaction and swing into the necessary action while I confide in you hoping you will not betray me at last. Please copy my private email address below and past on your reply so that i can receive it directly in my private email address. (mrfhall@yahoo.co.uk )
Thanks and God bless
MrFredrick Hall
