Subject: TREAT AS URGENT/BETWEEN US
TREAT AS URGENT/CONFIDENTIAL.
In our search for a trustworthy individual to work with us on a very
important and confidential project, we came across your esteemed
profile in our Chambers of Commerce and Industries in THE UNITED KINGDOM.
My name is Terry Perkins, Principal Executive Officer, Audit
Department, Barclays Bank here in The UNITED KINGDOM. During the yearly
preliminary in-house auditing of accounts, I discovered an account opened in
2000 and since 2004 has remained dormant which means that nobody has
been operating it up till date. The total amount in this account is
£1.9Million Pound Sterling less accrued interest.
Working together with the Audit Manager, we decided to investigate
this account for more information. We discovered that the owner of this
account, a foreigner has died inter state (leaving no heirs or next of
kin) who could make a claim.
Presently, we are the only two people in our organization with access
to this information and we have decided to keep it that way and claim
the money for ourselves using a third party who will take the place of
the deceased (next of kin). We will supply the necessary information on
the deceased and ensure that the claim application is giving immediate
approval. Documents like the death certificate will be arranged and
forwarded to you for onward submission to the bank.
The project is risk-free as we will use contacts that hold strategic
positions in the bank to effect a successful completion of the project
and also ensure that all traces of our mutual involvement are
completely wiped off. These presents no problem as all documented evidence will
be directly under their supervision.
It is our decision to share the funds on 50/50 basis with you and you
will still help us invest our 50% in a profitable stocks and shares in
your country until we are ready to take control. We would like to get
your decision to this proposal as soon as possible. On receipt of your
decision, we will fax or email you explicit details of the already
completed groundwork on this project.
You can contact me at all times on the above information

Best Regards,
Terry Perkins
