Hello,
Before I introduce myself, I wish to inform you that this letter is not
a hoax mail and I urge you to treat it seriously. I am Muhammad Khalil
Hasan,a banker with the Norges Bank London,I am the Account officer to late
Mr.Robert Chapman, the African Area Director of SIL International, who unfortunately
died in the crash of Kenya Airways Flight 431 in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, January
30 2000.You may have read about Mr. Chapman or seen his picture with the
wife when he was alive.He was from Hamilton, Ontario Canada.
Since the death of Chapman, I as his account officer in the bank, have
made several enquiries to locate hisonly surviving child, without any
success.I came across your name and contact, on the course of my personal
search for Chapman's relations, so I decided to contact you for this project.I
am contacting you to assist in repatriating and
securing the wealth left behind in a fixed deposit account by Robert
Chapman,before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by my bank.The
Board of Directors of my bank, has issued a notice that after 2 months from
now and no next of kin shown up for the claim, the funds
will be confiscated and declared unserviceable. Since there has been
unsuccessful in locating Robert's relatives for sometime now, I seek your
consent to present you as the Next of Kin to the deceased since you are a
foreigner, so that the proceed of this deposit valued at $USD15M (Fifteen
Million United States Dollars) can be released to you.
The bank will release the funds to any foreigner who has all related
information/documents to the bank account. I am in charge of this matter
in my bank,because I am his account officer. Your application
will be directed to my department for verification and approval.
Everything is under my control.I shall provide to you all the information
concerning the deposit of the funds.I shall also involve a good attorney
who shall represent you in all the appropriate offices for the claim. I also
have all necessary information we need for the claim and once
the money is transferred to you, I shall destroy all the documents used
for the claim and leave no traces.
After everything, you shall have 45% of the total sum,while 45% for me,
5% for charity organisation and 5% for expenses.All I require is your
honest cooperation to enable us see this business successful. I guarantee
that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect
you from any breach of the law. Robert was a very good man and it is not
wise to allow his hard earned wealth to be stolen by the greedy directors
of my bank.Further details await your response by email. PLEASE,TREAT THIS
PROPOSAL AS TOP SECRET.
Best Regards,
Muhammad Khalil Hasan.
