Subject: Introduction
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am contacting you on a transfer of a huge sum. of money from a
deceased. Though I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make
any one apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you that all will be
well at the end of the day.
Introduction:
My name is MR. PETER ADAMS am the Rectsanwalt (Lawyer ) to Mr.Christian Eich
a 57years old businessman who died on a plane crash with his entire family
on
the 31th of July 2000 on Concorde flight AF4590 that flew into the
hotelissimo in Paris, France along side 113 passengers on board.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm
Since Mr. Eich's death, there has not been any application to claim his
money by a next of kin as his wife who was supposed to be his next of
kin died along side with my late client in the same accident and also
with all his relatives. After 4 years of dormancy any such accounts
holding funds of certain magnitudes will be re-directed to the bank
treasury as unclaimed funds and will be shared among the bank share holders.
After which the file will be closed.
This is what I am trying to prevent from happening. I will rather see the
whole money go directly to charity organization with a help of a foreigner.
If you share the same ideology as myself, please do not hesitate to
contact me. However, it may interest you to know that we have secured from
probate and order of mandamus to locate any of the deceased surviving
next-of-kin. upon this discovery. I now seek your permission to have you
stand as a next-of-kin to the deceased.
All documentation will be carefully worked out by me for the funds to
be released into your favour as the beneficiary's next-of-kin.
NOTE: THE REASON WHY I AM DOING THIS IS THAT,
I WOULD RATHER SEE THE WHOLE AMOUNT GO DIRECTLY TO CHARITY, THAN HAVE
THOSE BANK DIRECTORS AND SHARE HOLDERS HAVE IT IN THEIR PERSONAL BANK
ACCOUNTS.
IT IS ALSO A LIFE TIME OPPORTUNITY FOR ME AND HOPEFULLY YOU AS WELL.
Please acknowledge receipt of this message in acceptance of our mutual
business endeavor by furnishing me with the following information
bellow.
1. YOUR FULL NAME/ADDRESS;
2. YOUR COMPANY NAME;
3. DIRECT TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBER;
Upon your acceptance I will contact you for further discussion.
I await your urgent response via this private email addresses:
peter1adams@myway.com
peter1adams@lawyersmail.com
PETER ADAMS.
Regards,
