Subject: Hello My Friend
Hello Sir,
I wish to introduce you to a business deal which would be beneficial to
both of us and which has to be kept confidential for the purpose thereof.
My name is John Bach a Lawyer based in United State.l came to know of you
in my private search for and reliable reputable person to handle this confidential
transaction which involves the transfer of a huge sum of money to a foreign
account requiring maximum confidence.
A foreigner, Late Christian Eicht Mason, an Gold merchant/oil broker was
my client until his death in a ghastly air crash,On the 25th of July 2000,
my client, his wife and their two Children died in the Air France concord
plane crash bound for New York in their plan for a world cruise,http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm
leaving behind a large sum of money and no next of kin to inherit the money.
With your assistance and my professional advise we can get access to the
money.He banked with a bank in United State and had a closing balance of
US$12.5M (Twelve Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars).which
the bank now unquestionably expects it to be claimed by any available foreign
next-of-kin of the Late beneficiary or alternatively be forfeited to the
government. Fervent valuable efforts are being made by the Bank to get in
touch with any of the Christian Eicht Mason family or relatives but
proved unsuccessful.
It is because of the inability to locate any of Late Christian Eicht Mason's
next-of-kin the influence of the chairman and member of the board of directors
are preparing for the fund to declaredbe "UNCLAIMABLE"and subsequently be
to government.In order to avert this negative development,I now seek your
permission to have you stand as a next-of-kin to Late
Christian Eicht Mason's so that the funds US$12.5M would be released to
you,as the beneficiary next-of-kin so that we can have the money. All documents
and proves to enable you get this fund will be carefully worked out and
more so we are assuring you of a 100% risk free involvement.
You shall be compensated with 30% of the money for standing in as the beneficiary
of the funds and 70% to me the originator of the transaction. I look forward
to your positive response at your earliest convinience and if possible send
along your telephone number, your correct address and Name so I call to
give you further information.
Regards
John Bach
