Subject: FIDELITY INVESTMENTS
FIDELITY INVESTMENTS,
STOCK EXCHANGE LONDON,
UNITED KINGDOM.
ATTN,
INVESTMENT PROPOSAL IN YOUR COMPANY.
I am pleased to inform of my intention to invest or partner a joint business with you. I am one of the Directors in Fidelity and Exchange Commission in charge of payment of dividends on stock market.
We have investors both local and foreign who deposited billions of dollars in stock market. By virtue of my position as directors in charge of payment of dividends to investors I discovered that one of our clients a (Foreigner) who deposited one billion dollars with commission (stock market) died five years ago as a result of terrorist attack in USA and no record to show that he had a relation or next of kin to claim this dividends. All efforts to trace his relative proof abortive.
Now, we have initiated an arrangement to transfer Seven Million Dollars accrued as dividends and interest on deposit of one Billion Dollars to a reliable foreigner who is willing and able to receive this money as a bonafide Next of Kin or relation to the Investors.
We have concluded arrangement to prepare authentic documents to support and proof that whoever receive this fund is a bonafied relations or Next of Kin to the late Investor.
We have agreed that, the funds will be shared thus, after it has been transferred into your account.
30% of the money will go to you for acting as the beneficiary of the fund.
10% will be set aside for reimbursement to both parties incidental expenses that may be incurred in the course of the transfer.
60% to us the originators of the transaction.
This is why I decided to contact you for assistance and co-operation to receive this money ($ 7 million dollars) and invest same in your company for a period of one year or more as maybe subject to negotiation. I strongly belief this is an opportunity for you to increase your capital base of your company.
If this proposal is accepted by you, kindly forward your honesty response to email address (stockexchange_g@yahoo.co.uk ) for more information and of course your opinion shall be welcome concerning this transaction.
Regards,
(Mr) Paul Smith
