Dear Friend,
I am Mr.Nelson Wilson, Bank Manager of LIOYDS BANK of london I have urgent
and very confidential business proposition for you.On June 6, 2000, an America
Oil consultant/contractor with the Chinese Solid Minerals Corporation, Mr.John
Lugard made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months,valued
at 10,000,000.00pds (Ten Million Pounds) in my branch. Upon maturity,I sent
a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After
a month,we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employers,
the Chinese Solid Minerals Corporation that Mr. John Lugard died from an
automobile accident.
On further investigation, I found out that he died without making a WILL,
and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless.I therefore made
further investigation and discovered that Mr.John Lugard did not declare
any kin or relations in all his official documents,
including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of 10,000,000.00pds
is still sitting in my 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 the british banking law,at the expiration of 5 (five)
years, the money will revert to the ownership of queen of England as royalty
if nobody applies to claim the fund.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a partner to stand
in as the next of kin to Mr. John Lugard so that the fruits of this old
man's labor 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 the attorney will prepare the necessary documents and affidavits
that will put you in place as the next of kin. We shall employ the services
of an attorney for drafting and notarization of the WILL and to obtain the
necessary documents and letter of probate/administration in your favor for
the transfer. A bank account in any part of the world that you will provide
will then facilitate the transfer of this money to you paid into your account
for us to share in the ratio of 60% for me and 40% for you There is no risk
at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be done by the attorney
and my position as the Branch Manager guarantees the successful execution
of this transaction. If you are immediately via this email address immediately.
Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details and relevant
documents that will help you understand the transaction. Please send me
your confidential telephone and fax numbers for easy communication.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.
Awaiting your urgent reply.
Thanks and regards,
Mr Nelson Wilson
