Dear Sir/Madam
I am Barrister Mac Donald Williams I got your email address through our
chamber
of commerce, trade and industry while searching for trustworthy individual
who
will assit me in this business.
My client by Name Mr. Ralph Gary an American national and oil consultant
who I
have been his legal representative(attorney) for many years died with the
members of his family in autobile accident on 17th July 2001. He has
$38,500,000.00 (Thirty eight million five hundred thousand US dollars) floating
in his suspense account and all the effort I made to locate any member of
his
family through their Embassy here proved abortive.
Now, this money is still in the bank and nobody is coming to claim the money,
the Management under the influence of their Chairman and Members of the
Board
of Directors Union Creditors Bank mandated me as his lawyer to provide the
next
of kin
or his relation and failure to do so after 4years, the fund to be
declared "Unclaimed" and subsequently be donated to the trust funds for
arms
and ammunition according to bank law. This will enhance the course of War
in
Africa and the World in general, this is totally a wrong idea, it is not
good
for the world. People are dying outside there due to one or more dreadful
diseases, that can make their lives more meaningful.om
In the light of the above, I need you as a foreigner to act as the next
of kin.
You will arrange for a bank account I will submit to bank that you are next
of
kin to Ralph Gary with your account details as to where the fund will be
transferred as a distance relation.
Send me the following:
The name of your Bank you want us to use,
Address of your Bank,
Account number,
Account Beneficiary,
Swift code(if any)
After the successful transfer of this fund to your account, I will make
arrangement to come to your country so that we can share the fund, Your
share
will be 30% while 10% is set aside for any expenses incurred during the
course
of this project both local and international, the rest of 60% will be for
myself. Please this business is 100% risk free.
Remember to send me your phone and fax number. My regards to you and your
family.
Best Regards,
Barr.mac Donald Williamst (esq)
