Date: Sun, 18 Mar 2007 05:31:46 +0000
Subject: Hello
Dear Friend,
It's been my pleasure contacting you to establish along lasting business
relationship with you as it has been my wish to conclude this transaction with
you. Though, I choose to reach you through this medium because it still remains
the fastest medium of communication. However, this correspondence is unofficial
and private, and it should be treated as such.
I'm Mr. Martin Johnson, I am the manager of Golden City Bank Plc in London,
UK. On a routine inspection I discovered an account with a Balance of
US$68,559,000. 00 (sixty eight million five hundred and fifty nine thousand U.S
dollars only} deposited by a a customer through a Finance Company Switzerland.
The owner of the account was a former Steel Corporation Chairman.
This money will revert to the ownership of the Finance Trust Firm if no one
applies to claim the fund because the chairman and the board of Directors are
planning to declare the fund unclaimed relative to the abandoned property
degree of 1996 giving banks a legal authority for such a decision.
I solicit your assistance to enable us transfer the said amount into your safe
account for onward investment. Consequently my proposal is that you stand as a
foreigner and make claims as the next of kin to the Industries and his closing
balance will be paid in your favor, so that the fruits of this old mans labor
will not get into the hands of some corrupt top officials here.
I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money can not be approved
to a local person here, but can only be approved to any foreigner who has the
correct information of the account which I will provide for you.Your assistance
as a foreigner is necessary, because the management of the bank will welcome
any foreigner who has correct information to this account which I will give to
you immediately, if you are interested to do this business with me. assure you
that this transaction is 100% risk and trouble free to both parties. It might
also interest to know that I am working with his attorney who has a percentage
if eventually the fund is approved for release to you.
I have access to most of what it will take for you to make the claim. I will
provide you with answers to all security questions which you would have to
answer to move the process towards completion. I will also provide you answers
to questions that only a person related to him will know. More importantly I
don't want anyone to be aware of this because of the security of my job. As the
manager of the bank, i assure you all things will work out well.
I make this proposal in trust and in good faith,therefore,if you receive this
email, there is a lot more to talk about , like sharing modalities. If you are
interested in my proposal, contact me with this emaI: info@goldencitybank.com
To achieve this successfully ,please send immediatly to me
------ Your contactl telephone/fax number for easy
communication(

relevant papers).
