Hello Friend,
I am Mr. Robert Ashton, the accounting officer-in charge of the private
investment section of the above named Finance house. I have decided to
contact you on a business transfer that requires confidentiality, trust
and transparency, where both of us have a lot to benefit, during my
investigation and auditing in the accounts section, my department came
across this money belonging to a deceased person, a foreigner who died on
May 7, 2008 in an auto crash.
This Fund has been dormant in his account in the private investment dept
without any claim to this fund in our custody, either from his family or
relation. The said amount is £14.6M (Fourteen Million Six Hundred Thousand
British Pounds Sterling). As it might interest you to know, I got your
contact through international business enquiry and my search for a trust
worthy business partner that can handle a business of this magnitude
meanwhile all arrangement to put claim to this fund in your name as the
bona fide next of kin to the deceased, and get the required approval to
transfer this money to a foreign account, have been put in place.
While the next line of action to conclude this transaction in the next 10
working days, will be relayed to you as Soon as you indicate your interest
in this transaction. I must also inform you that upon the completion of
this transaction, you will be entitled to 40% of the total sum as
gratification, for your role and assistance, while the balance will be for
me as the owner of the funds. Please, you have been advised to keep this
to your self since I am still in service and intend to retire after I
conclude this project.
I will be monitoring the whole situation here until you confirm the money
in your account. Then, immediately, I shall come down to the country of
your nominated account for subsequent sharing of the Funds according to
percentages previously indicated and further investment.
Yours Faithfully,
Mr. Robert Ashton
