Subject: PROPOSAL!!!
Dear Sir/ Madam
Allow me to begin by introducing myself. I am Mr. Peter Wallace, the Bank
Director of Fortis Trust Community Bank, London- United Kingdom, I have a
proposal of obscured matters for you. I required pardon and hope I do not
cause you any inconvenience while contacting you with a transaction of this
magnitude, but this is because of the confidence and the only means I could
use to reach you. I was the accounting officer of my late cleint, that used
to work with the commercial Corporation of ExxonMobil in United Kingdom. On
the 27th of July, 2001, my customer, his wife and their only son was implied
in a car accident between states. Unfortunately, all lost their lives. Ever
since I made several request for information from our Embassy to locate any
of my customers extended parents and this proved so fruitless. After
several fruitless attempts, I had taken pains to find your contact through
personal endeavors.
I need your help to repatriate an estimated Capital of US$20.5 Million
belonging to my customer before it is confiscated or declared unusable by
the actions of this bank and with such an action all interest that has been
incurred will be claimed by my bank. The Bank has instructed me to notify
the next of kin or have his account confiscated within the next 28 days and
these funds will be remitted to the treasury of the Bristish government. As
at the time of his death, I was his account officer, but have since been
promoted to the position of a Director. Since I was fruitless in locating
the parents for over 5 years now, I seek your consent to present you as the
next of kin to the deceased, for that the profits of this account can be
released to you. This is especially possible as you bear the same LAST NAME
to the said investor.
Therefore, on receipt of your positive response, we will discuss then the
proportion for sharing and the methods for the transfer. I have all
necessary information and the legal documents needed to support you for your
claim. To maintain the level of security required to see this transaction
come to a successful conclusion, I have intentionally left out the finer
details. To affirm your willingness and cooperation to my proposal please do
so by email, stating your Full Names, Date of Birth, Telephone Number, Fax
Number, Company/position held, Email address and Postal address.
All I demand of you is your honest cooperation so we can execute this
transaction. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any offence of the law. Please
endeavor to reply to my private email(pet-wallace1@hotmail.com). I await to
hear from you soon.
Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated. Thank you and God
bless.
Your Sincerely,
Mr. Peter Wallace,
Director.
Fortis Trust Community Bank
United Kingdom.
