Subject: MUTUAL BUSINESS PROPOSAL
FROM: CHRIS DAKOTAH (ACCOUNTANT)
ANFIELD INTERNATIONAL FINANCE UK
B108, MACMILLIAN HOUSE, PLATFORM 2
PADDINGTON STATION, LONDON W2 1FT
Greeting in the name of God.
This letter may come to you as surprise; but please endeavor to carefully
read through this mutually benefiting business proposition as this encounter
has the potential to enrich and change your life. As indicated above, I am
a banker with the Anfield International Finance London.
I am urgently faced with the opportunity and fortune of transferring the
sum of $6.5Million to your bank account for our mutual benefit. The
$6.5Million in question was left behind by one of our late clients, Mr.
George Brumely, an American from Atlanta, who died in a plane crash in July
2003 with his entire family, while holidaying in Africa.
The plane crash and death of the Brumelys was well reported by the CNN
in July 2003. You can read the CNN story by checking or clicking on the
following Website:
http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/07/20/kenya.crash/index.html.
As the Account Officer to the late George Brumely, I was mandated to locate
any of the deceased's relative who can stand in as next of kin to claim the
$6.5Million left in his account, since the wife, children and grandchildren
who would have stood in as next of kin all died in the crash. After a
fruitless comprehensive search for any of the Brumely extended family
member for the maximum period of 4 years, the board of the Anfield
International Finance has decided to confiscate the funds if it remains
unclaimed by the end of this outgoing financial year.
It is with this regard that I urgently seek your cooperation and
partnership to present you as the next of kin for the claim. You should not
bother about the difference in your surname with the deceased, as I have
made adequate legal arrangements to present you as the next of kin for the
transfer of the funds as a maternal relative to the deceased. Moreover this
is my mandate and official prerogative as the account officer.
For your role in receiving the transfer through your corporate or personal
bank account, I am offering you 30% of the funds. If this is acceptable to
you, please write back immediately, and I will furnish you with further
details and my full contacts. Suffice to assure you here that this is a
clean deal that will not involved any form of risk, as your next of kinship
and the entire transfer process will be properly documentation according to
international standard.
The only thing I require of you is your honesty and friendship. I expect
your earliest reply, and please do include your telephone number so that I
can call you.
Regards,
Chris Dakotah..
Accountant Anfield International UK.
