Subject: From Dr. Larry Smith
From the desk of Dr. Larry SmithDirector Foreign Operation Halifax Bank London.
Dear Sir/madam,
I am Dr.Larry Smith director of foreign operation of Halifax Bank London.
I believe you are capable and reliable to champion this business opportunity. In my department I discovered an abandoned sum of 12 million pounds sterling GBP in account number 152-552-008-005 that belong to one of our customer a foreign contractor from Cologne, Germany who died on a plane crash on July 25th 2000 with her husband Rudi Fassnacht. Her husband and their two children also perished in the air France Concorde New York bound flight; please click here for verification.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm, before her death, she was a contractor to British National Petroleum Co-operation (BNPC).
Since we got information about his death we have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it unless somebody apply for it as next of kin to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines. Unfortunately we leant that all his supposed next of kin died along with her at the plan crash. Leaving nobody behind for the claim I now decided to make business with you and released the money to you as the next of kin of the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and we don’t want this money to go into government account, as UNCLAIMED BILL.
The banking law and guidelines here stipulated that if such money remained unclaimed, the money will be transferred into government account as unclaimed fund.
That is why I want you to front you claiming this money. The request of a foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Britain cannot stand as next of kin to the deceased. I agree to give you 40% of this money while 60 % is for me and my colleague.
You must apply first to the bank as a next of kin of the deceased which I will send to you the text of the application as soon as I receive your reply. Hope you will not betray me when this money gets into your bank account before coming to your country with my family to invest my own share.
Please always keep it confidential kindly indicate your private phone and fax number for easy communication, trusting to hear from you.
Yours Faithfully, Dr. Larry SmithDirector Foreign Operations Halifax Bank London
