Greetings To You My Good Friend,
This contact is tantamount to an unflinching desire to establish a long
mutual business relationship based on trust and mutual understanding. I am
Dr .Ben Uche The Payment Co-coordinator of Centre Point Plc.
During the course of investigation it was found that the sum of
US$15.5million dollars {Fifteen Million Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars}
has been lying dormant in suspense account of our Bank.This fund belongs to
a deceased customer who bears same last name as you, 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 the late customer
did not declare any kin or relations in all his official documents,
including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. By the policy in our
country as against civil servants operating foreign account and also to have
that kind of huge amount in our local accounts, I solicit for an individual
that would be of assistance in ransferring this money into his foreign
account for personal investment purpose, having found out that your country
is known for business acumen and trustworthiness in business dealing.
Because of this I have to solicit for your assistance, with an unflinching
faith, that you will not betray me in this business. This is the reason why
I am asking for your assistance to enable me invest the
fund in your country and settle down with my family.
If you can handle the transfer for our joint benefit please get back to me
so we can discuss, as what is required now is for us to have you as next of
kin to the deceased and to transfer the money in your name.
I want you to understand that this transaction must be kept in utmost
confidentiality and secrecy as my future welfare hugely depend on it because
the bank here might claim the fund if they got to know the details I have
revealed to you.
Thank you for your co-operation in advance with an assurance that this is
the beginning of our long-term business relationship. The sharing percentage
shall be 70% for me and 30% for you on successful transfer of the fund.
I will arrange to procure all the necessary documents that will facilitate
the transfer. Also note that this transaction is 100% risk free as long as
we keep it between us alone. I look forward to hearing
from you soon.Through this my personal e-mail address.ben_uchexx1@yahoo.com
Call me for more information.
+234-1-4757432
YOURS SINCERELY,
Dr. Ben Uche
