Subject: Good Day
Dear Friend,
Good Day! My name is Mr williams Parker ; I am a senior banker in Barclays bank here in the United Kingdom. I am contacting you for a business transfer, of a huge sum of money from a deceased account. Though I know that a transaction of this magnitude that will make any one apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you that every documents that will bring about the success of this transaction would be provided and all will be well at the end of the day. I decided to contact you due to the urgency of this transaction.
The deceased person who died Christian Eich died in an air crash along with his wife on Monday, 31 July, 2000, 13:22 GMT 14:22 UK in an German Concorde with other passengers on board was (an engineer)American Oil consultant contractor with the Chinese Solid Minerals Corporation,He also own a BMW's museum. You can confirm his death from the website below which was published by BBC WORLD NEWS.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm
Since his death, none of his next-of-kin are alive to make claims for this money as his heir, because they all died in the same accident himself and his wife (May their soul rest in peace). We cannot release the fund from his account unless someone applies for claim as the next-of-kin to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines.
Upon this discovery, I now seek your permission to have you stand as a next of kin to the deceased, as all documentations will be carefully worked to make you the beneficiary to the funds £5,320 000 00 GBP (Five million, three hundred and twenty thousand Great British pounds sterling) which will be released in your favour as the next of kin.
Because after Eight years the money will be called back to the bank bond treasury as unclaimed bills and the money shared amongst the directors of the bank. so it is on this note I decided to seek for whom his name shall be used as the next of kin/beneficiary to this funds rather than allow the bank directors to share this money amongst themselves at the end of the year.
It may interest you to know that we have secured from the probate an order of mandamus to locate any of the deceased beneficiaries. Please acknowledge receipt of this message in acceptance of our mutual Business endeavor by furnishing me with the following information if you are interested.
1. Full names and address,
2. Telephone and fax Number.
3. Your occupation.
For our personal contact and mutual trust in each other. I shall be compensating you with 35% of the above amount on final conclusion of this project for your assistance, the balance 65% shall be for me ,because I intend to retire after the conclusion of this transaction.
You are been advised to reply me on this Email:- parkerwilliams010@gmail.com
Best Regards,
Mr Williams Parker
