Subject: R:WAITING TO HEARE FROM YOU
My Name Is James Thomas.
I Work As Bank Banager Here In London
United Kingdom.(Name Witheld for security reasons).
I have urgent and very confidential business proposition for you as rightly unveiled below.in january(2002). An American Oil Consultant/Contrator(Lewis Altman).made a numbered-time(fixed deposited),for twelve calendar month valued at (£28.5 M) TWENTY EIGHT MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UK POUND STERLING ,Upon maturity I sent a routine notification of Account status to his forwarding address but got no reply.
After two months we sent a reminding of same letter and finaly we discovered from his contact employer,Halliburton Oil Services Company that Engineer,Lewis Altman,died in crash.
After further investigation i found out that he did not leave a Will and all attempts to trace his next of kin were fruitless.
I therefor made further investigtion and discovered he did not declare any next of kin in all official documents including his Bank deposit pappers.
This sum of (£28,500,000,00) is still floating in our Bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year.
Subsequent to these several unsuccessful attempts to track his last name over the Internet in order to locate any member of his family.
I have contacted you to assist in securing this money before they are confiscated or declared unserviceable by my Bank,it is therefor, upon discovery that i decided to make business with you and release the money to you as the next of kin or relation to the deceased for safekeeping and subsquest disbursement,since nobody is coming for it and i do not want this money go back into Government's treasury as bill.
Note that it does not necessarily matter, wwhether you are biologically related to the deeased or not,
As you may bear with me,a next of kin maybe a parent,sister,brother,close relative,business associate,friend or even a well-wisher therefor,whether you are relative to him or not is bever a barrier to realizing the transaction.
This trasaction thing is that I have every detailed information regarding the said account(investment) and the deceased also.
This transaction is aimed ativesting in a Blue Chip Company in your Country or any other Country under a joint business partnership with you,however,if you want certain percentage of the deposit for your involvement.
Please do let me know so that we negotiate on your share,Once the deposit is secured,thereafter,I will visit your country, for the shearing and investment there of note,the every arrangement has been put in place for a smoth and successful transaction on receipt of your positive response I will give you full detail and information on this transaction.
Please indicate your willingness to proceed in this project and send me your full name and address,telephone/fax number to facilitate communication.
Waiting to hear from you soon.
Thanks
James thomas
