Subject: GREETINGS
ATTN: Sir/Madam,
I am DR.JOHN DUKES FRANCIS, Branch Manager International bank in London. On January 5th 2000, one Mr. John Brian Best, an American National, a consultant/contractor with Gardiner & Theo bald, a leading firm of project and cost management consultants, made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit, valued at £23,000,000.00(Twenty Three Million Pounds) for twelve calendar months in my Bank Branch. Upon Maturity, we sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from hiscontract employers (Gardiner & Theo bald) that Mr. John Brian Best died from an automobile accident.
On further investigation, it was discovered that he died without making a WILL and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless. On further investigations, it was discovered that Late Mr. JohnBrian Best did not declare any next of kin or relations in all his official documents, including hisBank Deposit paper work here at the Bank.
The total sum, £ 23,000,000.00 is still in my bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one will ever come forward to claim it. In accordance with the Federal banking Laws and constitution, at the expiration of 5 (five) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the Government if nobody applies as the next of Kin to claim the funds.
Consequently, I shall present you as a foreign partner to stand in as the next of kin to late Mr. John Brian Best so that you and I can benefit from the fruits of this old man's labor. Upon acceptance of this proposal, I shall send to you the detailed information on how this deal would be transacted. We shall employ the services of a solicitor for the drafting of the LAST WILL & TESTAMENT of Late Mr. John Brian Best and to obtain all other relevant papers in your name forthe necessary documentations for payment approval in my bank headquarters in your favor. The money will be shared in the ratio: eighty percent for me,fifteen percent for you and five percent for any arising contingencies during the course of this transaction.
I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that will protect you from anybreach of the law as I will use my position as the Bank's Branch Manager to secure approvals andguarantee the successful execution of this transaction. Please be informed that your utmostconfidentiality is required. If this interests you, please reply me immediately and include your private telephone number and a brief biography of yourself. reply throug my private email,john_francis003@yahoo.co.in
