DEAR FRIEND,
GOODDAY,I KNOW MY MESSAGE WILL COME TO YOU AS A SURPRISE. THEREFORE, I
TENDER MY EXCUSE. I AM BARRISTER HANS BOYER GEESINK,THE PRESIDENT OF
GEESINK LEGAL CHAMBERS HERE IN NETHERLANDS, AN ADVISER TO GOVERNMENTS
ESTABLISHMENT, AND A PERSONAL LAWYER TO LATE MR DONALD HECK AN
AMERICAN , INTERNATIONAL BUSSINESSMAN WHO DIED ON A PLANE CRASH OF 31
OCTOBER 1999[WITH EGYPTIAN AIRLINE 990] WITH OTHER PASSENGERS ABOARD AS
YOU CAN COMFIRM IT YOURSELF THROUGH THIS WEB SITE.
http://www.greatdreams.com/PassEAir990.htm
.IT WAS THREE WEEKS FROM TODAY THAT I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE SECURITY
COMPANY WHERE HE KEPT
SOME MONEY, NOTIFYING ME THAT, MR DONALD HECK DEPOSITED A SUM OF TWENTY
TWO MILLION
TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATE DOLLARS($22.200M) IN THEIR SECURITY
COMPANY THEY WENT ON TO SAY THAT I WAS CONTACTED BASE ON INFORMATION
THEY GOT FROM SOME DOCUMENTS THAT BACK-UP THE DEPOSITIONS IN WHICH MY
CONTACT AND NAME WAS INDICATED AS HIS PERSONAL LAWYER, THE SECURITY
COMPANY ADVICES ME TO PROVIDE THEM WITH
THE NAME OF THE NEXT OF KIN FOR THE FUND BECAUSE FOR THE PAST SIX YEARS
AND SOME MONTHS NOW, THE MONEY HAS BEEN WITH THE SECURITY COMPANY
WITHOUT
ANYBODY COMING FORTH FOR IT. AFTER SO MANY ATTEMPT I MADE TO GET IN
TOUCH WITH THE FAMILY AND RELATIONS FROM U.S.A FAILED I DECIDED TO
CONTACT YOU
BECAUSE OF THE ULTIMATUM OF TWENTY ONE DAYS FROM NOW AND PRESSURE FROM
SECURITY COMPANY WHICH SAYS THAT IF I FAILED TO FORWARD THEM WITH THE
NAME OF THE NEXT OF KIN, THE MONEY DEPOSITED WILL BE FORFEITED FINALLY
AND REDIRECT TO THE
GOVERNMENT TREASURY AS UNCLAIMED FUND ,AS CONSISTITUTED IN THE FEDERAL
LAWS OF BANKING, SECURITY COMPANY AND OTHER FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS HERE
IN NETHERLANDS, IN VIEW OF THIS I GOT YOUR CONTACT THROUGH MY COUNTRY'S
FOREIGN TRADE MISSION AFTER I WAS CONVINCED IN MY MIND THAT
YOUR NAME/COMPANY COULD BE USED AS THE NEXT OF KIN TO THIS CLAIM. THE
REQUEST OF THE FOREIGNER AS A NEXT OF KIN IN THIS BUSINESS IS
OCCASIONED BY THE FACT THAT THE CUSTOMER WAS A FOREIGNER AND A NIGERIAN
CANNOT STAND AS THE NEXT OF KIN TO A FOREIGNER. FOR THIS REASON YOUR
SINCERE HELP IS NEEDED.ON MY OWN PART AS THE LAWYER,
I WILL FACILITATE IN GETTING ALL THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTS FROM THE
MINISTRY OF JUSTICE HERE IN NIGERIA THAT WILL PROVE THE LEGALITY OF
THIS MONEY, WHICH WILL BE TRANSFER INTO YOUR NOMINATE ACCOUNT. I AM
PROPOSING 30 PERCENT OF THIS MONEY TO YOU AND 5 PERCENT FOR ANY
AUXILIARY EXPANSES FROM THE SECURITY FIRM TRANSFER CHARGES WHILE
REMAINING WILL BE FOR ME . I AM ANXIOUSLY EXPECTING YOUR URGENT
RESPONSE.AND TO FURTHER SHOW YOUR INTEREST IN THIS TRANSACTION I WILL
WANT YOU TO KINDLY OBLIGE ME WITH THE FOLLOWINGS:
