Subject: Funds Management.
Greetings and Compliments,My name is Dr.Chris Tony,I am the credit manager of a Finance Bank here in UK. I am contacting you for a business transfer, of a huge sum of money from a deceased account operator. Though, I knew that a transaction of this magnitude will make any one apprehensive and overwhelmed, but I am assuring you that everything has been taken care of, and all will be well if you are really honest with me.I decided to contact you due to the urgency of this BUSINESS PROPOSAL; I am the account officer of a foreigner named Carolyn Clemetson and her husband David Clemetson who died in an air crash along with his wife on the January 31 in an Alaska airline Flight 261 with other passengers on board.http://archives.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/Dr.Chris Since his death, none of his next-of-kin is alive to make claims for this money as his heir, because they all died in the same crash: himself and his wife (May their soul rest in peace). We cannot release
the fund from his account unless someone applies for claim as the next-of-kin to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines. Upon this discovery, I now seek your permission to have you stand as a next of kin to the deceased, as all legal documents will be carefully worked out by me for the funds (US$38m,600,000,00) to be released in your favor as the beneficiary next of kin .Of course after six years, the money will be called back to the bank treasury as unclaimed bills and shared amongst the directors of the bank.Thus, it is on this note I decided to solicit whom his name shall be used as the next of kin/beneficiary to this fund rather than allow the bank directors share this money amongst themselves at the end of the year. It may interest you to know that we have secured from the PROBATE REGISTRY an order of mandamus to locate any of the deceased next-of-kin or beneficiary.Please acknowledge the receipt of this PROPOSAL in acceptance of our mutual business
endeavor/benefits by responding very urgently as soon as you received this message; that we may know what steps to take next towards achieving our targets.For our personal efforts and mutual trust on each other,I shall be compensating you with 30% of the total sum on final conclusion of this undertaking in appreciation of your assistance.And 5% of it will also be used to settle all our individually incurred expenses in the course of bringing the transaction to a successful conclusion; while the balance of 65% shall be mine for investment purposes.I intend to retire after the conclusion of this transaction.However, If this proposal is acceptable by you, please ,contact me without delay via my alternative email address: chris_tony_uk11@yahoo.com Do not misuse or take undue advantage of the trust I have bestowed on you.Thanks for your anticipated urgent reply.Yours faithfully,Dr.Chris Tony.
