MRS AGANA FLORES ADINA
CREDIT ACCOUNTS OFFICER
HEAD OFFICE BANCO DE ORO UNIVERSAL BANK
12 ADB AVENUE, ORTIGAS CENTER, MANDALUYONG CITY
PHILIPPINES.
Good Day,
I sincerely ask for your forgiveness for I know this may seem like a
complete intrusion to your privacy but right about now this is my only
option of communication.Though,this medium (Internet) has been greatly
abused, I choose to reach you through it because it still remains the
fastest medium of communication. However, this correspondence is unofficial
and Private, and it should be treated as such. Therefore you should take
this information to yourself because all the information you have here is
very very confidential and reality. This mail might come to you as a
surprise and the temptation to ignore it as unserious could come into your
mind; but please consider it a divine wish and accept it with a deep sense
of humility.This mail is written and intended to solicit your assistance to
be presented as NEXT OF KIN to my late Client's estate. Considering the
sensitivity of this email to you, I advice that you keep its content to
yourself. If you are not willing to do this with me, please delete this
email and do not bother to respond.
Let me start by introducing myself, I am MRS AGANA FLORES ADINA, CREDIT
ACCOUNTS OFFICER BANCO DE ORO UNIVERSAL BANK. I am writing you this letter
based on the latest development at my bank, which I will like to bring to
your personal edification. I am writing you this letter with so much joy and
excitement even though my heart goes out to the very powerful and
distinguished gentleman who I was fortunate to have worked for and extremely
privileged to have known for numerous years. I was a top official in charge
of client accounts in EQUITABLE PCI BANK in the Philippines which has now
been merged and is now a part of BANCO DE ORO UNIVERSAL BANK.
In 2001, my client was going through a horrendous divorce in the United
States of America and was on the verge of losing most of his estate to his
vicious and diabolical wife. As a result of this alarming predicament, my
client came to me with a very brilliant idea. He transferred some funds, ten
million two hundred thousand dollars ($10.2m) to a fixed deposit account in
my bank under an alias which only the two of us knew about as the
confidentiality of the matter was necessary for his protection.
Due to his untimely death in early 2002, the funds have been sitting in the
account ever since and will continue to do so perpetually unless we do
something about it. This is where you come in. I located you through an
agency that helps seek people by their email. My client did not declare any
next of kin in his official papers including the paper work of his bank
deposit. Against this backdrop, my suggestion to you is that I would like
you as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to my client so that you will
be able to receive his funds. I want you to know that i have had everything
planned out so that we can come out successful.I have contacted an attorney
who will prepare the necessary documentation that will back you up as the
next of kin to my client.All that is required from you at this stage is for
you to provide me with your Full Names and Address so that the attorney can
commence his job.
After you have been made the next of kin, the attorney will also file in for
claims on your behalf and secure the necessary approval and letter of
probate in your favour for the movement of the funds to an account that will
be provided by you. There is no risk involved at all in the process as we
are going to adopt a legalized method and the attorney will prepare all the
necessary documentation. The allocation of our money will be as follows:
40%($4.02m) to you for your part in this,and 60% for me. I think this is
extremely fair, as you have nothing to lose but just a little time, while on
the other hand I am staking my flawless reputation among other things. And
besides $4.02 million is no pocket change. Once you are approved, the entire
transaction should take no longer than fourteen business days after which we
will go about our daily business, but just millions of dollars richer. As
you can see this is easier than taking candy from a baby, but mind you,
trust is something that is developed over time and that is something that we
do not have. So I have to let you know that it will highly unfeasible to try
to run away with the money because even though only you can transfer money
in and out of your account, the transfer can only be authorized by my
department of which i happen to be the head. The money will be transferred
from my bank to an account you will provide. So please, there should be no
room for greed because ten million two hundred thousand dollars can quench
even the most insatiable desire for the almighty dollar.
Again, I will be in charge of everything else. I will assume all
responsibilities for this endeavour so you don't have to worry about any
legal ramifications, just what you will do with all that money. Your urgent
response is highly anticipated so please email me through this email; (
adinaaganaph1@yahoo.com.hk}for more details on this transaction as soon as
possible. This should be kept very secret and confidential. I believe you
know.
Kind Regards,
Mrs. Agana Flores Adina
