Subject: business manager
15th JANUARY 2007
Hello,
I am Michael w Sullivan, a private financial consultant /account portfolio
manager. I happen to have managed a particular account for a Resident
Foreigner who bears the same surname as yours, over here in the United
Kingdom, who accidentally died in a car crash, leaving in our care a
reasonable amount in a Domiciliary United States Dollars Account. The highly
confidential nature of our client and our business confidential disposition on
client to client
basis did not warrant us to have an easily identifiable next of kin to this
particular client. I have made several enquiries to locate any of my client’s
relatives immediate and extended, this has proved unsuccessful. Hence, I am
contacting you. I need you to assist in securing the money and property left
behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by
the Finance House here in the United Kingdom where his deposits were lodged.
The Finance House has issued Government Mandatory Formality notice to provide
the Next of Kin or have the account confiscated within the next one month.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating any of his relatives for over two
years and convinced that no one is coming up and having satisfied the
mandatory legal requirement of beneficiary/next of kin notification, I now
seek a Reliable and Trustworthy person to stand as next of kin. With your
consent and perfect understanding, we will present you as the next of kin of
the deceased so that the proceeds of this account valued at Twenty One
Million, Three Hundred and Twenty Thousand United States Dollars, interest
Inclusive, can be paid into an account to be provided by you (preferably
outside the United Kingdom Financial Institutions or its Isles), as the
perceived next of kin legally and otherwise.
I have all necessary documents to back up these claims as Next of Kin on your
behalf. All I require is your honest cooperation and confidence in me, which I
believe is not easy, as we have not done a similar transaction before and
there has been no reference. Hence
the reason I choose to call this a Deal, as it will be based on trust to
enable us see this transaction through. I guarantee that this will be executed
under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the
law. I would advise that you give this a positive consideration and get back
to me as soon as possible. I would be very flexible as well as considerate in
the percentage share that will be given to you for your assistance. You can
reach me anytime by telephone on +44 7876156776 or please endeavour to email
me at
msullivan10@myway.com.
I wait to hear from you.
Best regards,
Michael Sullivan.
