Attention:
I am a staff of COMMERCE BANK METRO MANILA - PHILIPPINES . I am writing following an opportunity in my office that will be of benefit to both of us. In my department i discovered an abandoned sum of $10.5 million,(Ten Million five hundred thousand Us Dollars)in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customers Late Mr.Hall
Harris an American who unfortunately lost his life in the Tsunami disaster in Thailand 2004.,including his wife and Two of his daughters. Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin or relatives to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking laws and guild lines.
Unfortunately I learned that his supposed next of kin being his two daughters died along with him in the Tsunami disaster leaving nobody with the knowledge of this fund behind for the claim.It is therefore upon this discovery that I now decided to make the deal with you and transfer this money to you as the next of kin or beneficiary of the funds for safety keeping and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and we don't want this money to go back into Bank treasury as unclaimed bill.
The banking law and guidelines here stipulates that such money remained after five years the money will be transferred into banking treasury as unclaimed funds.We agreed that 47.5% of this money will be for you as foreign partner,5% will be use to upset expenses that might in cure on the course of making this transaction a successful one, while 47.5% will be for me.
Please note that all necessary arrangement for the smooth release of these
funds to you has been finalized.I will discuss more in details when I do receive your response.You can reach me in my private email:
Best regards,
Engr Albert Reyes
