Hello,
Do accept my sincere apologies if my mail does not meet your personal
ethics although, I wish to use this medium to get in touch with you first
because it's fastest means.
I am an external auditor of a well known bank here in the United Kingdom.In
one of our periodic auditing I discovered a dormant account with holding
balance of 52,000,000 (Fifty Two Million British Pounds) which has not
been operated for the past three years. From my investigations and confirmations,
the owner of this account, a foreigner by name (Mr.Ratnavale Victor
with his wife wife Ratnavale Joyce they are from SWITZERLAND) died in
a Plane crash on Monday 7th September 1998 GMT 14:22 UK while they were
flying from New York to Geneva.Please see for more information: http://www.cnn.com/WORLD/9809/swissair.victims.list/index.html
And since then nobody has done anything as regards the claiming of this
money because he has no family members who are aware of the existence
of neither the account nor the funds. I have secretly discussed this
matter with a top senior minister official of the federal ministry of
finance here and we have agreed to find a reliable foreign partner to
transfer the fund into your account which you will provide although
due to his position he did not want to take active part but as soon
as you follow the instructions i will be getting from him, everything
will be successful because we will be working hand in hand with him.
We thus propose to do business with you,standing in as the next of kin
of these funds from the deceased and after due legal processes have
been followed the fund will be released to your account without delay
and we will use it for investment and to assist the less privileged
in the society because if we left the fund with the government it will
be forfeited for nothing and will be used to suppress the poor masses
in the society.
This transaction is legitimate and does not originate from drug, money
laundry, terrorism or any other illegal act. Finally, I will give you
35% for your corporation, 5% will be for expenses both parties might
have incurred during this process. You should send me any of your valid
international passport. On receipt of your response I will furnish you
with detailed clarification as it relates to this mutual benefit.
You should send me Your account information as states below where you
like the money to be transfer so that. I can send application for the
release of the fund immediately with your account information. Even
an empty account is ok.
Bank Name..............
Bank Address...........
Beneficiary Name.......
Account Number.........
Swift Code.............
Your Tel/Fax Number....
Routing Number.........
State & Country........
Do you have any investment idea?I look forward to hearing from you as
soon as possible if you are interested.
Best regards,
Mr. Afunwa
