Dear Associate,
I wish to use this medium to reach out to you as i hope this letter finds you in good health.It is however advised you treat this mail in an urgent and confidential manner.
My name is Andy Golburt;i am the personal account officer to one Engineer Chris Stubbs now deceased, herein is referred to as my client. My client, his wife and only child on one of their vocational camping trips on the 23rd of March 2004 were unfortunately involved in a ghastly car accident along Van kluivet Road Highway 30 Fernood, Netherlands which ended up claiming their lives. The late engineer worked as a foreign expartrait to several oil and gas companies before joined the Royal Dutch Petroleum Company and who before his death deposited in the custody of our bank here in Netherlands 11,400,000.00 Euros.
I must let you know that since after his death nothing have been said with regards to this deposit although i had expected to see any of his relative come over to claim this money as the beneficial next of kin after having sent out notification letters to his country home address as directed by my superiors but surprisingly nothing was heard on these regards and going by the terms of agreement/policy with the bank which thus states that any such deposit that remains unclaimed after (3) years on maturity will be diverted into the banks treasury as unclaimed funds.
In view to this, the bank directors in their last executive meeting resolved to enforce her binding agreement/policy with my client which is to take effect in the next (21) official working days since no claim has been made with regards to this deposit over its maturity . Although i personally have conducted a geneological research before now to possibly contacting any of my clients relative that can help claim this money before the money is confiscated but i have not been successful.Upon my being unsuccessful and going by this new development i have sought it wise to take the immediate assistance of a foreign associate that can help claim this money for safe keeping and future investment since this money has no beneficiary and on this note i have contacted you after having found you reputable and reliable to fit in for a transaction of this kind.
My proposition is that you will stand as the beneficiary/next of kin to my deceased client to enable the possible release and payment of this money to you.You can be rest assured that necessary formal arrangement to have this money released and paid out to you have been mapped out and will care fully be executed without any breach of the law only if you can assure me of your honest cooperation on these regards.The total money will be shared between our self on an agreed terms after the money must have been paid out to you and do also bear in mind this is a complete risk free venture.
I anticipate your kind and prompt response with your,Contact Telephone Numbers, Your Official Names,Contact Adress to enable the immediate filing of the letter of claims to the bank department in charge for necessary approvals to be made before the funds can be released for payment. You will further be informed on the way forward on your reply.
Thanks and best regards,
Andy Golburt.
