Subject: From: Mr Godfrey Robinson.
From: Mr Godfrey Robinson.No. 70 Wigmore Street London W1U 2SF Occupations: External Auditor
READ AND GET BACK TO ME IMMEDIATELY.
Please 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. My name is Mr Godfrey Robinson, 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 26,000,000 (Twenty six Million British Pounds) which has not been operated for the past five years. From my investigations and confirmations,i confirmed that the owner of this account, a foreigner by name Mr. Donald A. peterson died in plane crash in July 19, 2003 and since then nobody has done anything as regards the claiming 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 deal with us although due to his position, he did not want to take active part but as soon as you follow my instructions 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 fortified for nothing and will be used to suppress the poor masses in the society.
This transaction is totally free of risk and troubles as the fund is legitimate and does not originate from drug, terrorism or any other illegal act. Finally, I will give you 45% for your corporation, On receipt of your response I will furnish you with detailed clarification as it relates to this mutual benefit transaction.
So what you have to do now is to send me Your account information as states below where you will like the money to be transfered into so that i can send application for the release of the fund immediately with your account information. Even an empty account can serve.
Account Name...........Account Number.........Bank Name..............Bank Address...........Swift Code.............Your Tel/Fax Number....Routing Number.........State & Country........
Your full name, office or Home address?Your Telephone Nos. both Home, Office and Mobile.?
I look forward to hear from you as soon as possible.
Regards,
Mr Robinson
