From Mr. Andrew Newton.
The international transfer manager Citibank London.
Permit me to inform you of my desire to plead for your assistance
I am writing to request your assistance to transfer the sum of £15,000,000
(Fifteen Million Pounds Sterling) I will first introduce myself, i am Mr.
Andrew Wolley, The international transfer manager Citibank London, here in
London , England . During our last Audit, I discovered that one of our
accounts, with holding balance of £15,000,000 (Fifteen Million Pounds
Sterling) has been dormant and last operated three years ago.
The need to move out this money arose when the prime minister of U K
Gordon Brown said that some money healed in dormant accounts would be used
to fund youth and community projects for your confirmation
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/4017381.stm
From my investigations and confirmation, the owner of the said account, a
foreigner by name John Shumejda died on the 4th of January 2002 in a plane
crash in Birmingham ; you can view this CNN website
http://edition.cnn.com/2002/WORLD/europe/01/04/england.plane/
for details on the crash. Since then, nobody has done anything as regards
the claiming of this money, as he has no family member that has any
knowledge as to the existence of either the account or the funds; and also
Information from the National Immigration also states that he was single
on entry into the UK .
I have confidently discussed this issue with some of the bank officials
and we have agreed to find a reliable foreign partner to deal with. We
therefore propose to do business with you, standing in as the next of kin
of these funds from the deceased and funds released to you after necessary
processes have been followed because this fund can be claim by a foreigner
due to the deceased owner of the account is also, foreigner.
I want to assure you that, this transaction is totally free of risk and
troubles as the fund is legitimate and does not originate from drug, money
laundry, terrorism or any other illegal act.
At the successful conclusion of this business, you will be given 50% of
the total amount as your share, 50% for me.
You can call me with this my Mobile number or send me email if can be able
to assist me.
I thank you for spearing moments of your very busy schedules to read my
proposal.
if you are interested send me the following informations
{1}Your full name
{2}Home and office address
{3}Full phone and fax number
{4}Marital status
{5}Age
{6}Nationality
