Subject: Account portfolio manager
Top of the day to you,
I am Mr. Phillip Conde, a private financial consultant /Account portfolio
manager. I happen to have managed a particular account for a Resident
Foreigner, here in the United Kingdom, who died Intestate, leaving in our
care a sizeable amount in a domiciliary United States Dollars Investment
Account about five years ago. For some reasons, this client does not have an
easily identifiable next of Kin. I have made several enquiries to locate any
of my client’s relatives; immediate and extended, this has proved
unsuccessful, hence, I am contacting you. I need your assistance in securing
the money left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared
unserviceable by the Security & Finance house here in Europe. The Security
Firm and Finance House has already issued a Government Mandatory formality
notice to provide the Next of Kin or have the account confiscated and this
should expire within a month.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating any of his relatives for over two
years and convinced that no one is coming forth, and haven satisfied the
mandatory legal requirement of Beneficiary/next of kin Notification, I now
seek a reliable and trustworthy person, with your consent and perfect
understanding, to present you as the next of kin of the deceased so that the
proceeds of this account valued at US$21,320,000.00 (Twenty One Million,
Three Hundred And Twenty Thousand United States Dollars), interest
inclusive, can be paid into an account to be provided by you (preferably
outside the United Kingdom Financial Institutions or its Isles), as the
perceived Next of Kin, legally and otherwise.
All I require is your honest cooperation and confidence in me; which I know
would not come easy. I guarantee that this will be executed under a
legitimate background that will protect you from any breach of the law. I
would advise that you give this positive consideration and get back to me
soon. I'll be flexible and considerate in the percentage share that will be
given to you for your assistance. Upon receipt of your response I'll send to
you my private number so that you can reach me for further discussion. I
expect your urgent response and if in the affirmative, with a confirmation
of your full name and present location, I shall then advice you on what we
need to do.
Best regards,
Mr. Phillip Conde.
Suffolk. United Kingdom.
