RE-TRANSFER OF £52,954,000.00 {Fifty Two Million Nine Hundred And Fifty Four
Thousand British Pounds Sterling}
Good day.
I am aware that this is certainly an unconventional approach to starting a
relationship. I am Mr. Dennis Wood, the personal account officer to the
great late deseased who has an account in one of the top banks here in
London, United Kingdom. The account was opened in 2002 and he died in 2004
without a written or oral WILL and since 2004 nobody has operated on this
account again hence the money is floating, and if I do not remit this money
out urgently it will be forfeited for nothing, and Government of United
Kingdom will confiscate
the funds for their personal use which I personally don't want such incident
to happen being that this is a great opportunity in my life.
My contact is for you to please assist me to transfer the fund
{£52,954,000.00} from a Cooperate Bank here in UK to an oversea account.
First, I must solicit your strictest confidence in this transaction. This is
by virtue of its nature as being utterly confidential. I am sure and have
confidence of your ability and reliability to prosecute a transaction of
this great magnitude. I solicit your assistance to enable us transfer the
said amount into your safe account for onward investment.
You can either provide us with an existing account or to set up a new Bank
account immediately to receive this money, even an empty a/c can serve to
receive this money, as long as you will remain honest to me till the end of
this important business, trusting in
you and believing in God that you will never let me down in future because
this business is my life. The owner of this account is a foreigner and no
other person knows about this account or anything oncerning it, the account
has no other beneficiary and until his
death he was the manager of the company. My investigation through the
National immigration department and Ministries here proved to me as well
that he was single as at the time of his entry into the United Kingdom. As a
matter of fact, I have decided to transfer this fund abroad for investment.
Your assistance as a foreigner is necessary because the management of the
bank will welcome any foreigner who has correct information to this account
which I will give to you immediately, We will start the first transfer with
Thirty Two Million {£32,000,000.00}.
Upon successful transfer without any disappointment from your side, we shall
re-apply for the payment of the remaining balance of {£20, 954,000.00} to
your account. I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money
cannot be approved to a local person here due to law in United Kingdom.
Be it known that at the conclusion of this business, your share will be 40%
of the total transfer sum, while 60% will be for me and my partners here who
are helping me in facilitating the transfer.
If you are interested, please forward the following information as below:
{1} Your Name/company's name and full address,
{2} Bank Name:............ ..........
{3} Bank Address.....................
{4} Account No:......................
{5} Swift Code...{if any}
{6} Account Holder's Name: ....................
{7} Your telephone Number.both Home, Office &
Cell/Mobile and fax Numbers.........................
{8} Your Occupation..............
{9} Your Valid ID ...................
Upon the receipt of the above details, payment will be activated by the
feeding of your data into payment system, followed by a signal that will be
sent to the paying bank to remit the funds into your nominated bank account
within 7 official working days of receipt of the above information.
Best Regards,
Mr. Dennis Wood.
