Dear Sir,
I am Mr Liu Jiankai, the bill and exchange manager of Wing Hang Bank Ltd
In Hong Kong and I am contacting you on a business transfer of a huge sum of
money from a deceased account. Though I know that a transaction of this
magnitude will make any one apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you
that all will be well at the end of the day. We decided to contact you due
to the urgency of this transaction.
PROPOSITION;
We discovered an abandoned sum of US$8,500,000.00 (Eight million five
hundred
thousand united states dollars) in an account that belongs to one of our
foreign customers who died along with his entire family. Since the death of
Mr.Phillip Brian death,
none of his next-of-kin or relations has come forward to lay claims for this
money as the heir. We cannot release the fund from his account unless
someone applies for claim as the next-of-kin to the deceased as indicated in
our banking guidelines. Upon this discovery, we now seek your permission to
have you stand as a next of kin to the deceased as all documentations will
be carefully worked out by us for the funds (US$8,500,000.00) to be released
in your favour as the beneficiary's next of kin. It may interest you to know
that we have secured from the probate an order of mandamus to locate any of
deceased beneficiaries.
Please acknowledge receipt of this message in acceptance of our mutual
business endeavour by furnishing me with the following;
1. Beneficiary name and address
2. Passport size photograph
These requirements will enable us file letter of claim to the appropriate
departments for necessary approvals in your favour before the transfer can
be made. We shall be compensating you with One million, five hundred dollars
on final
conclusion of this project, while the balance of Seven million will be for
us.Our share we would want to invest in your country with your advice.
If this proposal is acceptable by you, do not take undue advantage of the
trust I have bestowed in you.
I await your response
Regards,
Mr. Liu Jiankai.
