Subject: Transfer Proposal
Lindsay Town
Managing Director
Bank of Scotland Corporate
Level 7 155 Bishopsgate
London EC2M 3YB
United Kingdom
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am Mr Lindsay John Town,individual reference number:LJT01049 Commonly known as Lindsay.I am the Managing Director with the Bank Of Scotland UK.I
Am very sorry if this is an inconvenience in any way, just that I
Need you to see me through with this transfer. This business request
May seem strange, but I crave your indulgence and pray you view it
Seriously as I am convinced that you would be capable to provide me
With a solution to a money transfer. On, a French property magnate, He
Made a number of times (fixed) deposit for twelve calendar
Months, valued at £6,500,000.00(Six Million Five Hundred Thousand
Pounds Sterling) in my branch upon maturity. I sent a routine
Notifications to his forwarding address but got no reply.
After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from
His contract employers (the Petroleum Corporation) that
He died in an air crash with his family . On further investigation,
I found out that he died without making a will and attempts to trace
his next of kin were fruitless. I
Therefore made further investigation and discovered that He
Did not declare any next of kin or relations in all his
Official documents, including his bank deposit paperwork. This sum
Of £6,500,000.00 and the interest is being rolled over with the
Principal sum at the end of each year. No one will ever come forward
To claim it .According to British law, at the expiration of 4 years,
The money will revert to the ownership of the British Government if
Nobody applies to claim the fund.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner
To stand as the next of kin to the fund.
This is simple; .We will then facilitate the Transfer of this money
to you as the beneficiary/next of kin. The Money will be paid into
your account for us to share in ratio of 50% for me and 30% for
you and 10 % will be set aside to offset any
Expenses incurred during the business, while the other 10% will go
To charity organization. There is no risk at all, the paperwork for
This transaction will be done by an attorney and my position as an
Manager in the bank Guarantees the successful execution of this
transaction.
Please observe utmost confidentiality and be rest assured that
This transaction would be most profitable for both of us.
Regards
Mr Lindsay
