Subject: Get Back To Me
Dear Friend :
Do not be surprised about receiving this confidential proposal
from somebody you do not know. It is as a result of the urgency and nature of
the business that made me contact you in this manner. I am Mr. David Jeremy working with
solicitor firm in London and a
personal attorney to late Mr. Morris Thompson, (hereinafter referred to as “my
client”) an American expatriate and an oil and mining contractor who had lived
and worked in London for many years as an Engineering Consultant with London oil
Company.
On the 31st of January 2000, my client and his wife Mrs. Thelma
Thompson and his only daughter Sheryl Thompson died from an air crash aboard Alaska Airline
flight 261 that crashed into the Pacific Ocean on January 31, 2000. See more
details by visiting the linkbelow: http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/
my client used to be a close friend of my late father who also died four
years ago. Shortly, before my client’s death, he had informed me that he had a
numbered time fixed deposit in
the sum of US$12,500,000 with Bank in London. He also gave me the original copy
of the certificate of deposit and the statement
of account. Due to the fact that he was having problems with his wife, he
had not made up his mind to put his wife's name as the next of kin in the
Certificate of Deposit before this tragic air crash. The bank has written so
many letters to me requesting for a next of kin or will have the account t
frozen. On my own part, I have made several inquiries to locate any of my
client's relatives to facilitate repatriation of his estate from London. This
sum of US$12,500,000.00 is still sitting in the Bank and the interest is being
rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one will ever
come forward to claim it. According to British Law, at the expiration of 10
(Ten) years, and nobody claims the fund, the money will revert to the ownership
of United Kingdom Government.
My efforts up till date proved unsuccessful. His personal house in the capital
city of Manchester has already been confiscated by the property lender.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to
stand in as the next of kin to Mr. Morris Thompson so that the fruits of this
old man's labour will not get into the hands of some corrupt government
officials. This is simple, I will like you to provide immediately your full
names and address so that I as the Attorney will prepare the necessary documents
and affidavits which will put you in place as the next of kin and beneficiary to
this fund. It is also necessary that you provide your private telephone and fax
number for further discussions and for me to send some documents relating to
this transaction.
I wish to assure you that there is no risk as all the
paperwork for this transaction will be done by me and with my position as his
Attorney, the bank will definitely my affidavit and documents stating that you
are the next of kin. I guarantee a successful execution of this transaction.
The money will be paid into your account in any part of the World for us to
share in the ratio of 60% for you and 40% for me. If you are interested, please
reply immediately via the private email: mrdavidjeremy@yahoo.com address or telephone
number:447502419291 or fax number:44844576864 Upon your response, I shall then provide
you with more details and relevant documents that will help you understand the
transaction.
Please observe utmost confidentiality, and rest assured
that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall
require your assistance to invest my share in your country. For reasons of
confidentiality, l shall give you all the correct details information’s and all
the supporting documents about the transactions upon your
response.
Awaiting your urgent reply via my email: mrdavidjeremy@yahoo.com
Thank
you
David Jeremy
