FROM: MR. MARK LEONARD
LONDON , ENGLAND
UNITED KINGDOM .
Hello ,
Before I proceed, I must first apologize for this unsolicited
mail to you. I am aware that this is certainly not a conventional
way of approach to establish a relationship of trust, but you
will realize the need for my action.
Please let me introduce my self to you as Mr. Mark Leonard, a
British born Jamaican, I work with DBS Bank London, where I manage
private clients accounts, as a matter of fact, I have been in
charge of this duty for 12 years now. My motive for writing this
mail to you is to inform you of an account belonging to Mr. Alexander
Schmitz. Who has been my client for as long as I have been with
DBS.
His account holds the sum of 8.3 million pounds the truth now
is that Mr. Alexander Schmitz. Is late, and I have monitored
his account with us for 4 years now, and to my greatest surprise,
no one has come up for a claim till date. From my investigations
and confirmation, my client left his next of kin column blank,
and had a single on entry visa into the UK , which is why no
one has knowledge of the deposit except us a DBS.
Hence the need to get in touch with you as one who I can present
as a next of kin to assist in repatriating the money left behind
by my late client before they get confiscated or declared unpayable,
as I have been unsuccessful in locating a relative for over 3
years now.
Please be informed that the proceeds of this Deposit valued at
8.3 million pounds. Will be shared as follows: 80% for my colleagues
and me,20% to you. I have all necessary legal documents that
can be used to
backup any claim we may make. All I require is your Honest cooperation
to enable thisdeal go through.I guarantee that this will be executed under a
legitimate Arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the Law, as
the funds did not originate from drug money or terrorism, but through
inheritance.
I have discussed this matter with some of the banks official
and we have all agreed to find a reliable partner to have this
deal with, so that the funds can be released to you in your nominated
account for shearing after due processes have been followed.
Please let me have your telephone and fax numbers to enable us
discuss further about this transaction
Best Regards.
Mark Leonard
