Great Queen St,
London,
Compliment of the day,
I am Barr.James Brown from London,the attorney to late
Mike Matsushita,A Vietnamese-American,I got your
contact while i was conducting a research through the
internet.
I am writing following an oppurtunity in my office
that will be of imense benefit to both of us,I
supposed to have carried this out before now,but i had
an accident that kept me hospitalised for months.But i
thank God i am in good health and very strong for this
transaction now.
My client (late Mike Matsushita) who unfortunately
lost his life in the London July 7 bomb blast which
claimed fifty two lives and left hundreds injured,
deposited the sum of 18million British pounds,in
National Westminster Bank London.
Unfortunately my client died intestate so leaving
nobody else with the knowledge of this fund behind for
the claim. It is therefore upon this discovery that I
and my colleague (an accountant with the bank) decided
to make business with you and release the funds to you
as the next of kin or beneficiary of this funds for
safe keeping and subsequent disbursement since nobody
will come for it and we don't want this funds to go
back into Government treasury as unclaimed bill.
The banking law and guidelines here stipulate that
such funds should be transferred into banking treasury
as unclaimed funds.
We agreed that 30% of this funds will be for you as
foreign partner,and 20% will go to the orphanage while
the balance will be for me and my colleague.
I will visit your country for the disbursement
according to the percentages indicated above, once
this money gets into your account.
Please be honest to me and trust is our watch word in
this transaction.
Nevertheless,this transaction is confidential and 100%
risk free.
If you are ready to work with us please forward to me
the required information below.
(1) Complete name and home address
(2) Your age,occupation, direct phone number and fax
number
Once i recieve this necessary requested informations,
I will initiate the processing of the transfer and in
about seven to nine banking days the money will be in
your nominated bank account for us to share
accordingly.
This transaction is guaranteed to succeed without any
problem. If you agree to assist me by sending to me
the above requested informations,
I will give you my complete details, including phone/
fax etc and any further clarifications you may
require.
We will discuss much in details when I do recieve your response
Best regards,
Barr.James Brown.
