Subject: HELLO
Dear Sir,
I Am Mr.Vittorio Cooper, in charge of Bills and Foreign Exchange Remittance Department with a Finance House. I saw your contact and profile and decided that you could cooperate with me in this proposition. I am writing you this letter to ask for your support and co-operation to carry out this business opportunity in my department. I discovered an unclaimed sum of $18.3 Million (Eighteen Million, three hundred thousand US Dollars) deposited belonging to Mr. Balvinder Sandhu who was a private consultant and Minning Enginner with Ma'aden Phosphate Company in Saudi Arabia He happens to be deceased during a business trip. He died with his wife and three children on board the Swissair Flight 175, which crashed into the Atlantic off Nova Scotia in 2000. The plane crash was in the news.
Since we got information about his death I have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money. Unfortunately, neither the family nor
the relation has appeared to claim this money. We cannot release this money unless somebody applies as the next of kin or relation to the deceased. I
therefore decided to look for a foreigner to work with. You don't have to have the same last name to qualify as his next of kin. You can be his distance cousin or uncle.
Our guidelines indicated that if such money remained unclaimed for a period of eight (8) years, it would be transferred into the Finance House Treasury
as unclaimed fund. I decided to front you as the next of kin and you will come over to the company in London to collect the secure deposit. I have decided to give you 25% of the total sum. There is no risk involved because I will use my position as an Officer and prepare all the legal documents/papers. I will do my best to see that we conclude this transaction successfully on time. Please if you are interested send me an immediate mail.
Once you collect the box and verify the content, we will make plans to deposit the cash in a bank here in London and you can transfer your own share to your account in your country and transfer my own share to my own bank account. The entire transaction will not take anymore than 5 business days.
Please let me know if I have your cooperation so that we can set the ball rolling. Please your Cell phone and fax for easy communication
Respectfully,
Mr Vittorio Cooper.
