Occupations: External Auditor
Atten:
Do accept my sincere apologies if my mail does not meet your personal ethics
although, I wish to use this medium to get in touch with you first because
it's fastest means. I am an external auditor of a well known bank here in
the United Kingdom.
In one of our peroidic auditing I discorverd a dormant accounts with holding
balance of 25,000,000 (Twenty-Five Million British Pounds) which has not
been operated for the past three years. From my investigations and
confirmations, the owner of this account, a oreigner by name
Mr.Gregory.B.Wilson died in plane crash in July 19,2003 and since then
nobody has done
anything as regards the claiming of this money because he has no family
members who are aware of the existence of neither the account nor the funds.
I have secretly discussed this matter with a top senior minister official of
the federal ministry of finance here and we have agreed to find a reliable
foreign partner to deal with us although due to his possition he did not
want to take active part but as soon as you follow my instructions
everything will be successfull because we will be woking hand in hand with
him. We thus propose to do business with you, standing in as the next of kin
of these funds from the deceased and after due legal processes have been
followed the fund will be released to your account without delay and we will
use it for investment and to assist the less privelaged in the society
because if we left the fund with the government it will be fortified for
nothing and will be used to suppress the poor masses in the society.
So you should provide me with your correct account detail where you will
like the fund to be transferred even an empty account is ok. At the
conclussion of the transfer you will take 35%,5% will be for any expenses
both parties incurred in the process of this business and the remaining 60%
will be for me. As soon as I hear from you and upon your strong assurance
that you will not let me down once the fund goes into your account I will
then start the processing of the transfer of the fund to your account
without further delay.
Send me your nominate account information as states below where you like the
money to be transfer so that i can send application for the release of the
fund immediatelly with your account information.
Beneficiary Name.......
Bank Name..............
Bank Address...........
Account Number.........
Swift Code.............
Routing Number.........
State & Country........
Your Tel/Fax Number....For easy communication.
I look forward to hear from you as soon as possible if you are interested.
Best regards,
Mr Ken Barry.
