Attn,
I am Mr , Pinto a staff of Banco Banesto Madrid Spain. I have a
confidential
business proposal I want to do with you. I decided to contact you based
on,
you bear the same surname with the depositor. There is this business
opportunity here in our bank; there is an abandoned sum of $9m US
dollars
(Nine million US dollars) that belongs to one of our foreign customer
who
died along with his family on 25th December 2003 in a ghastly motor
accident
along Barcelona express road with his wife and two children.
Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his
next of
kin to come over and claim his money which is deposited in our security
deposit safe vault. The management has been searching for a relative or
member of the family to notify them about this deposit. But up till now
we
have not been able to trace any members of this family.
The management can not release it unless somebody applies for it as
next of
kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guideline
but
unfortunately I learnt that all his family died alongside with him at
the
car accident leaving nobody behind for the claim. Since you have same
surname with the deceased customer you can easily make a deal with me.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I decided to intimate you on
this
business proposition so that you will apply as a relation to the
deceased
customer for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming
for
it and don't want this money to go into the Bank treasury as unclaimed
funds
or declared to the government of Spain which they will confiscate it.
The
request of a foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by
the
fact that the customer was a foreigner, and it will be better for you
to
stand as a relation to the customer.
My colleagues and I here in the bank is the only people that has
knowledge
about this transaction, we agreed that 35% of this money will be for
you as
foreign partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign account,
while 65%
would be for my colleagues and I here in the bank. There after I will
visit
your country for the sharing according to the percentages indicated.
Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of these funds to you as
arranged, you must apply first to the bank as relation or next of kin
of the
deceased indicating your application for the withdrawal of these funds
to
your nominated bank account.
Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the next
of
kin application form and also send to me your private telephone no for
easier communication. There are practically no risks involved, the
transaction will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will
protect you from any breach of law. I plead with you on one issue,
whether
you are interested or not, kindly do not expose this information to any
one.
Best Regards,
Mr, Pinto,
