Subject: Hello Dear Claim Needed!!
Hello Dear
I know that this letter must come to you as a big surprise but I believe it
is only a day that people meet and become great friends and business
partners. I write you this proposal in good fate, believing that I can trust
you with the information I am about to reveal to you. Let me start by first
introducing my humble self to you though I know that a transaction of this
magnitude will make any one apprehensive and worried but I am assuring you
that all will be well at the end of the day. My name is Mr. Allen Tringle; a
branch Manager at Northern Rock Plc, Maddox Street branch London-United
Kingdom. I came across your contact information on web in my private search
for a reliable and reputable person to handle a very confidential
transaction, which involves the transfer of a huge sum of money to a foreign
account requiring maximum confidence. I am an account officer to one Mr.
Morris Thompson an oil Merchant /contractor with Linton Fuel Oils Ltd
London, UK, until his death seven years ago in a ghastly air crash, banked
with us here at Northern Rock Plc, Maddox Street branch and had a closing
balance of US$3,000,000.00 Fixed Deposit Investment for a period of 6 years
from 1999 to 2005 which has matured and the bank now unquestionably expects
the fund to be claimed by any of his available foreign Next of Kin. Late
Mr. Thompson went to Mexico for a vacation with his wife and daughter and
unfortunately lost their life in the plane crash of Alaska Airlines Flight
261 which crashed on 31st January 2000.
The bank has mandated me as his account officer to provide any of his
relative to stand for the claim within two months since Mr. Thompson died
with his wife whom he indicated as his next of kin in the crash. To this
effect, I now seek for your permission to have you stand as late Mr.
Thompson's Next of Kin so that the fund, USD$3Million, would be subsequently
transferred and paid into your bank account as the beneficiary Next of Kin.
All documents and proves to enable you get this fund have been successfully
worked out because Mr. Thompson requested that he wants me as the bank
manager to be directly responsible for his account and for that reason, he
entrusted most of his banking documents in my care for safe-keep in our
strong room so I can assure you a 100% risk free involvement.If you accept
to stand as the beneficiary next of kin to claim this inheritance, I am
willing to give you 30% of the total amount, 10% for any expenses made by
both of us in course of this transaction, while the rest 60% would be for me
for purposes in your country. However, there is no risk involved in this
transaction, as I will give you all information you may need about Mr.
Thompson and his banking relationship with our bank to enable you stand as
his next of kin to receive this money in your account. Note that next of kin
can be friends, business partners, extended relatives and club mates so
nationality cannot be a hindrance provided you meet with all requirements
which only person related to the deceased could be in possession of.
Once you file for the claim, I will do the rest for you in the inside and
get the fund released in your name. I will also employ a lawyer who will
follow up all the processes on your behalf and shall secure all the
documents that will confirm you true next of kin to late Mr. Thompson. I
guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that
will protect you from any breach of the law. I shall be coming over to your
country for my share and investment after the successful completion of this
transaction. I am optimistic that we will conclude this transaction within
three weeks upon your compliance in applying for the claim to our head
office. If this proposal is acceptable by you and you do not wish to take
advantage of the trust I hope to bestow on you, then kindly get back to me
immediately furnishing me with your most confidential telephone, mobile and
fax numbers so that I can forward to you the relevant details of this
transaction and easy communication with you. I will send my identification
to you once you indicate your interest to work with me. Thank you in advance
for your anticipated co-operation.
Sincerely,
Mr. Allen Tringle
