Subject: URGENT ATTENTION ASAP
Attn:Sir/Ma,
My Name is Hillary worf , ACCOUNTANT GENERAL (ICBC BANK CHINA) In my department, I discovered an abandoned consignment worth over the sum of US$12million dollars (Twelve Million Us Dollars) in a file that belongs to one of our foreign customer, Late Mr. Andreas Schranner from Munich, Germany who died along with his entire family in July 2000 in a plane crash.
Below is a website which I will appreciate you going through to read
the information.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm
Since then, I have made several enquiries to locate any of his extended
relatives but all effort has proved abortive.
The reason why I am contacting you is based on trust to enable me
present you as the next-of-kin to him so this consignment will be released to
you for safety and subsequent disbursement.
Nobody has come to our Bank for claiming of the consignment.
It will be easy to convince the company since I am in possession of the
necessary legalised documents that back-up the consignment and which
will present you as the rightful next-of-kin to the deceased customer.
I don't want this consignment to go into Bank's treasury as unclaimed bill.
The Bank laws and guidelines stipulates that if such consignment
remains unclaimed after eight years, the company will confiscate it.
The request for a foreigner as next-of-kin in this transaction is
occasioned by the fact that late ANDREAS was a foreigner and any
indigene cannot stand as next-of-kin to a foreigner.
All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us see this
transaction through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a
legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the
law.
I agree that 25% of this money will be for you as a respect to the
provision of your assistance , 5% will be set aside for expenses incurred during
the transaction, another 5% to help the less privilege and to assist the
charity organisations here in Africa and abroad while the rest 65% will
be for me.
Thereafter, I will visit your country for disbursement according to the
percentage indicated. Therefore, to enable the immediate release of
this consignment, you must apply to our Bank as the relation or next of
kin of the deceased indicating your complete information, complete name,
postal address, occupation, your private telephone and fax number for
easy and effective communication and location where the consignment will be
released to.
Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text
of the application you will send to the Bank to seek the release of the
consignment to you.
I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is
hitch-free and that you should not entertain any fear as all required
arrangements have been made. You should contact me as soon as you
receive
Trusting to hear from you immediately for more detailed discussion.
Regards,
Hillary worf (Accountant General)
ICBC BANK CHINA
