Mr Akpan Manuel
First Standard Finance Bank Plc.
London UK
Dear Friend.
My name is Akpan Manuel, I am the credit manager of First Standard
Finance Bank Plc. here in the United Kingdom. I am contacting you of 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 everything has been taken care off, and all will be
well
at the end of the day. I decided to contact you due to the urgency of
this transaction.
PROPOSITION;
I am the account officer of a foreigner named Joyce Lake and her
husband Ronald Lake who died in an air crash along with his wife on the
January 31 in an Alaska airline Flight 261 with other passengers on
board.
You can confirm this from the website below which was published by
CNN.WEBSITE.
http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/
Since his death, none of his next-of-kin are alive to make claims for
this money as his heir, because they all died in the same accident
himself and his wife (May their soul rest in peace). 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, I now seekyour permission to have you stand as a next of kin
to the deceased, as all documentations will be carefully worked out by
me for the funds (US$18,500,000,00) to be released in your favour as
the beneficiary's next of kin.
Because after five years the money will be called back to the bank
treasury as unclaimed bills and the money shared amongst the directors
of
the bank. so it is on this note i decided to seek for whom his name
shall be used as the next of kin/ beneficiary to this funds rather than
allow the bank directors to share this money amongst themselves at the
end
of the year.
It may interest you to know that we have secured from the probate an
order of mandamus to locate any of the deceased beneficiaries. Please
acknowledge receipt of this message in acceptance of our mutual
business
endeavor by furnishing me with the following information if you are
interested.
1.A Beneficiary name and personal banking details. In order for me to
prepare the document for transfer of the funds in your name.
2. Direct Telephone and fax numbers.For our personal contact and mutual
trust in each other.
I shall be compensating you with 30% which is Five million five hundred
fifty thousand dollars ($5,550,000,00) on final conclusion of this
project for your assistance, while the balance $12,950,000 dollars
shall be
for me for investment purposes. Because I intend to retire after the
conclusion of this transaction. If this proposal is acceptable by you,
please endeavor to contact me immediately.
Do not take undue advantage of the trust I have bestowed in you,
I await your urgent response
Regards,
Mr Akpan Manuel
First Standard Finance Bank Plc.
London UK
