Subject: SEEKING YOUR DUE CONSENT
*Dear Partner and Friend,
Please treat this with the utmost confidentiality and if you do not have
interest I apologize for my intrusion on your time as I beg you to forget
you ever received a letter like this. My name is Le Minh Thia;I am a senior
staff with Wing Lung Bank 112 Queen's Road, Central, Main Branch,Hong Kong.
I have a matter of utmost importance and confidentiality that I will like to
discuss with you. I hope you will not be offended as it will be of mutual
benefit to us. I am contacting you concerning an investment that was placed
under our bank's management for a period of 18 months in 2001. A client of
my bank by the name ,Mr.Richard Gelb made a Fixed Deposit for this period in
my branch. If you are familiar with private banking affairs, those who
patronize our services usually prefer anonymity, but also some levels of
detachment from conventional processes.
Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but
got no reply. After some months, we sent a reminder only to be informed of
his death. On further investigation, I found out that he died without making
a WILL, and all attempts to trace his next of kin have been fruitless as Mr.
Mr.Richard Gelb did not declare any kin or relations in all his official
documents,including his Bank Deposit for paper work in my Bank.
If you are interested then a bank account in any part of the world that you
will provide will then be used to facilitate the transfer of this money to
you as the beneficiary/next of kin. The money will be paid into your account
for us to share, We share equally (45% each) while the balance 10% to cover
all other expenses like taxes, lawyers fees etc..There is no risk at all as
all the paperwork for this transaction will be done by an attorney and my
position as a top official guarantees thesuccessful execution of this
transaction.If you find yourself able to work with me, contact me through my
email below as according to the banking laws of Hong Kong,if nobody comes
forward to claim the funds after Five(5) Years,the money will be reverted
back to the Government.If you give me positive signals, I will initiate this
process towards a conclusion.Please send me your confidential telephone
numbers for easy communication. Please observe utmost confidentiality, and
be rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both of
us.
Please reply via this email address : thialemin@yahoo.com
Best regards
Mr. Le Minh Thia.
