Dear sir,

Your identity and contact was made known to me in my desperate quest to successfully locate the next
of kin to an account file forwarded to mine desk for liquidation. I am Barrister Eric Owen; I work with
the legal department of the Standard Chartered Bank London. It is my job to see that any unclaimed
account resulting from demise of account holder is certified and confirmed UNCLAIMED. Before
final liquidation instruction is passed on any such account file.

With the above explanation of my responsibility/obligation in carrying out my duty, I was
necessitated to making contact with you because an account file due for liquidation and currently
valued at US$ 15.3 Million (Fifteen million, three hundred Thousand US Dollars) was forwarded to
my office for final search of next of kin to the deceased account holder, this account was last operated
in April 2002.

I have tried to locate the next of kin to this account but to no avail. I have tried the embassies, still no
results. In my quest to locate such person, I came across your identity. Coincidentally you bear the
same surname as the holder of the account in question and that is the major reason for my contact with
you. I have been mandated to provide next of into this account or have the account confiscated within
thirty official working days.
Therefore I seize this opportunity to make a confidential transaction

proposal to you as follows:


1. We both work together on this file; I will use my official capacity to front you as the next of kin to
this account file. All files relating to this account will be amended to suit our plight.
2. I will be your lawyer here in London, who will be standing in on your behalf while the claim suit is
going on. I will be directing the affairs of the claim suit from behind the scene.
3. Once claim of account approval by virtue of next of kin is passed in favor of us.[you] We shall have
the proceeds of the account shared/disbursed as follows:-{i} 80% to be shared equally (40:40)
between both parties (you and me) {ii} 20% will be set aside for expenses incurred in the course of
execution of the transaction.
We might have to indulge in a bit of lobbying to scale through a few bureaucratic bottleneck
procedures and to gain claim and transfer approval quickly. All I require is your honest co-operation
to enable us seeing this deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the Law. Upon your critical scrutiny of the
above mentioned proposal and 3 point operational module. Reply via my private Email:
ericowenubestuk@gmail.com for further clarification I expect to hear from you as soon as possible.

Sincerely,
Barrister Eric Owen
