Dear Sir/Madam,
I am Mr. Richard Waiver the account officer of a foreigner named Mr. Christian Goetz, who died with his wife Irene Vogt-Goetz. You can confirm this from the BBC website http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm (May their souls rest in perfect peace).
Mr. Christian Goetz made numerous (Confidential Fixed deposit), valued at US$10,200,000.00 (Ten Million two hundred thousand dollars only) with my bank.
Upon maturity in 2005, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. On further investigation, I found out that he died without making a "WILL" regarding this funds he deposited in our bank,I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr. Christian Goetz put his wife as the next of kin in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. However they never had any children.
This sum of US$10,200,000.00 has been floating as unclaimed since 2000 in my bank as all efforts to get his relatives have hit the stones. According to the British law, at the expiration of 8 (Eight) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the British Government if nobody applies to claim the
fund, and the eight years is the end of January 2008. Consequently, my proposal is that I want to seek your consent as a foreigner to stand in as the owner of the money as the next of kin to the deceased so that the bank will transfer the money to your designated account. All documents and proves to enable you get this fund will be carefully worked out. I have secured from the probate an order of mandamus to locate any of the deceased beneficiaries, and moreso, I am assuring you that the business is risk free involvement. Your share stays while the rest be for me and for investment purpose, as I will leave London immediately we have concluded this project.
The sharing of the funds will be based according to agreement between you and me. As soon as I receive an acknowledgement of receipt of this message in acceptance of our mutual business proposal, I will furnish you with the necessary modalities and disbursement ratio to suit both parties without any conflict.If this proposal is acceptable to you, do not take undue advantage of the trust I have bestowed in you.
