Dear Sir,
I sincerely apologize for intruding into your privacy, especially by contacting you through this means for a business transaction of this magnitude. For this reasons, I want our communication to be basically through email for now. I want you to partner with me in getting back the money (US$36,000,000.00) left behind in a fixed deposit account in our bank by Mr. Herman Babbel, If this will endanger your position and reputation, I would not have contacted you. This is safe and beneficial. I am presently the President, BB&T Corporation President, Branch Banking & Trust Company Chief Operating Officer in the board of trustees of our bank in Virginia, United States of America. Please do not expose this transaction for any reason. I will give you more information of myself, our bank and the transaction itself once you write again.
Late Mr. Herman Babbel lived and worked in Columbus and New York City as an international businessman. He deposited in our bank the sum of Thirty Six Million United States Dollars (US$36,000,000.00) as fixed deposit. This deposit has long matured and has gone dormant for about four (5) years. We have tried to reach him and could not. His telephone number could not be reached, emails sent to him kept bouncing back as undelivered and we never got any response from the letters posted to his residential address. This issue prompted me to carry out an independent investigation about his whereabouts since he did not provide a next of kin or beneficiary at the time he made the deposit with us. I later realized with shock that he died sometime in November 2009 of heart related illness in a Los Angeles hospital. His death was not reported to our bank from that time till this moment and nobody in our bank is aware of these. He was a kind hearted man and give money out freely. I pray his soul r
est in peace
However, I have on my own made several inquiries at Embassy and no information of him was found, which I find weird. My effort to locate any of his relatives took me to the regional passport office in Germany and informed me that the passport number was irrelevant and not issued anywhere in Germany. Since this is the issue, I want you to apply as the next of kin of the deceased to claim the deposit from our bank and it will assumed he was from your Country. It does not matter whether you know him or not, it does not matter if you have any kind of relationship with him or not. I will guide you all the way to make this claim. This is not a matter of being greedy or having ugly morals, it is not the best to leave the money to eventually end up in Government hands while we have the opportunity to live better with it. This is a risk free transaction, as I am the Chief Operating Officer of our bank and the final approval of your application will be done by my department. Once it is approve
d, you will have the righ
With my influence, our bank will tender the necessary documents to appropriate authorities,to enable a smooth transfer of the money into your bank account. Everything will be done legally, have no fear about these. Right now, I have all the copies of the documents relating to the fixed deposit Late Mr. Herman Babbel made that you will file to back up this claim. All I require now is your honest cooperation to enable us make this claims and we have to do this within shortest time possible. If you are willing to do this with me, write back and I shall inform you on what next to do. If nothing is done immediately, the money will be returned to the government treasury as abandoned funds on 30th of April 2018, and we will gain nothing from it. I am waiting for your consent in order to move to the next step towards getting the funds. Thank you and I am waiting.
Best regards,
CHRISTOPHER L. HENSON
