- FROM: THE DESK OF MR.PATRICK SHULL DIRECTOR,INTERNATIONAL RELATION DEPARTMENT HSBC BANK, LONDON, UK
..Dear friend,
My name is Mr.Patrick Shull, I am the Director of International Relations Department with the HSBC Bank, London.
I 'm 48yrs old.We had a customer named Mr. Collins Smith, a national of the United States, but reside here in UK with his family for several years before his untimely death.Late Mr. Collins Smith has been our customer for the past 5yrs now with a capital deposit of Forty five Million,
Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars On(US$45,500,000.00) in his domiciliary account, and some time in August 2005, Mr. Collins Smith was on his way to his house, and unfortunately ran into a moving truck and died immediately.The Management of my bank has mandated my department to send adverts andannouncement to all concerned authorities,
including the American Consulate here in UK for the trace of Mr. Collins Smith's relation(s)/Next Of Kin for the purpose of claiming the above mentioned fund, but all efforts made to trace his relatives/Next of Kin proved abortive, as the only son whom he made his Next of Kin also died in the same auto crash.Hence,
my decision to contact you to seek for your permission/consent to present you to my bank as one of the relatives of late Mr. Collins Smith to enable us claim this said fund on your name for safekeeping in your bank account pending my arrival in your state for the sharing between both of us.
This motive became necessary following the resolution of the management for the revert of this fund to the government account as unclaimed fund in accordance with the British financial regulations.Please be rest assured that transaction is 100% risk free, as I will use my good position as the Director of the Int'l Relations Department of my bank to facilitate all the required paper works for the support of your official declaration as one of the relatives of the late Mr.Collins Smith.
I have basically agreed to give you 30% of this total fund as your compensation for whatever assistance that you will render for the success of this transaction, 10% set aside for the reimbursement of what ever expenses that we may likely incure at the course of this transaction, and the remaining 60% is for me and one of my colleagues who will work with us.
Therefore, if you have agreed to work us, please quickly send the following information needed for the procurement of the paper works:-
1. Your full name(s) and address 2. Age 3. Occupation 4. Marital status 5. Phone Number Please do not hesitate to ask question(s) where it is necessary for further clarification
..I anticipate your prompt response.Kindest regards,
Mr.Patrick Shull Kindly direct your mail here:patrickshull07@gmail.com
