Subject: Hello.....
Dear Friend,
A very good day to you and how are you doing today? I am a director and head
of operations at the one of the big banks here in the United Kingdom . I
have contacted you in search of a partner who can assist me in receiving
funds as a next of kin to a deceased client of my company who was a native
of your country. In mid 2002 our deceased client deposited in our custody a
Trunk Box containing the sum of seven million three hundred and fifty
thousand United States Dollars ($7,350,000) as vital personal effects for
safekeeping. As the operations director, he confided in me that there is an
urgent investment requiring cash payment he needed to make. Unfortunately,
he
passed away before he could come and claim the consignments after a brief
illness. Since then we have tried in vain to locate any of his relatives to
come forward for the claim. The deceased client from all indications and
investigations conducted by the company did not provide
a next of kin. This venture is risk free and I am willing to use my position
here to the maximum to ensure the release of the consignments to you as his
next of kin. Also I will provide the necessary logistics to give us a legal
backing and I am offering a share of 25% of the inheritance if you assist in
securing the release of the funds.
I want you to NOTE that this is a straight forward transaction with no
bureaucracy involved. Please kindly reply to my private email
(mrawelejohnson@yahoo.com) All that I need from you is your consent to
present you as the next of kin to our late client so that I can authorize
the release of the Trunk Box to you. Thereafter, the
Trunk will be shipped directly to your designated address through a
Diplomatic Attaché as a non inspection consignment for onward deposit to
your account. Kindly get back to me if you are interested and
send me the following details for the actualization of this
venture for us both.
1. Your full names and address.
2. Bank name and address, routing number, account number and swift code
3. Your personal Phone numbers
I will also advise that you keep this personal as possible.
I Look forward to hearing from you.
Best Regards
Mr. Awele Johnson
