This is to acknowledge your position as I got your contact through* *your
country directory, don't be embarrassed by our approach without any formal
notice before now, I am convinced sincerely that irrespective of the medium
I am contacting you, we can honestly come to a mutual understanding to
achieve success in this transaction that is risk free, permit me to
introduce myself and my proposal.
I am Mr. Kenny Brain MD of *COSCO LOGISTICS CHINA* and we are *SHIPPING
Agency*. Am hereby contacting you in respect of our foreign client from USA,
who died on the terrorist attack at WORLD TRADE CENTER USA of 11th Sep. 2001
*COSCO LOGISTICS CHINA* sold shares worth about $5 Billion, which we made
record sales that year worldwide, upon this, one of our client though late
now, by name Mr. Henry Charles bought shares in our company and paid in the
money in our off shore Account, which the shares he bought since 2000 till
now with the accumulated interest is $25 Million. At the due of the shares
he bought with our firm, I wrote and mail a letter through DHL to the
address he provided to us in his file as a share holder in our firm, but the
return confirmation of the letter I sent was that there is no such resident
in the Address he stated and can't be traced. Moreover the law of this
company states if any share holder who by any means did not check on his
shares after the due of the shares and the person did not contacted his
broker after 2 years of his share due, the money will be transferred into
the company treasury as unclaimed bill. As there is no relative of our
client who knows about this transaction and nobody has come for the fund as
next of kin after all these years, am hereby contacting you in request of
foreigner as next of kin to our late client Mr. Henry Charles, occasioned by
the fact that the customer was a foreigner and we cannot stand as next of
kin to a foreigner, but rather I am contacting you to present you as the
next of kin to inherit this fund as our late client living relative, be
informed that I and his share broker are the only witness to this
transaction. As the Manager of this Company who is empowered to sign for the
release of funds similar to this, at your confirmation to partner with me to
bring out this fund, I will direct you on basics you will apply for the
release of this funds to you as the next of kin to our late client without
any hitch or risk attached to this transaction.
Note that I contacted you directly as you bear same surname with the
deceased. And am assuring you that your commitments to the success of this
transaction will be deducted as soon as the fund is in your disposition and
we will part with equal share of the fund 50-50 %, as I will travel to meet
you in your country as soon as the funds are transferred to you in your
country.
Do get back to me as a matter of urgency.
