Subject: Urgent and very confidential business proposition
From: Christopher D. Dixon
The Storage Keeper Operations
BBVA Affiliated Security & Finance
Madrid, Spain.
Attn:
I am Christopher D. Dixon, the Storage Keeper Operations, of the BBVA Affiliated Security & Finance S.A, Madrid-Spain. I have an urgent and very confidential business proposition for you. In a nutshell, I hint you briefly the mode of operations in the company. The security company is in Madrid-Spain and has played host to billions of dollars in storage, deposited by very important personnel's around the world, especially past presidents and government officials and CEO`S of companies.
They bring in these deposits as family treasures but when they claim it, the real stuff will be seen, I have seen a lot in my 13years with the company and I must tell you that billions have passed through the company. All the deposits are with security codes. Also most of the deposits are left UN-claimed because of the stringent conditions attached to the deposits, especially when the depositor dies without living any traceable address for fear of being probed. When this happens, the deposit is turned over to the government treasury, where the artifacts are bided for and the physical cash is lodged in the Government Bank. The deposits are reviewed from time to time. Every month end, a depositor contacts the company for update or the next of kin does that.
There is a deposit of US$18,000,000.00 (Eighteen Million United States Dollars), that I have the secret code and the full data of the depositor, Robert Thorgrimson (Late), from Poulsbo, Washington-USA. He died with his wife. But he left in the deposit clause "My wife, brother or sister will come forward for this deposit and it should be released to him/her when he/she quotes correctly the deposit code" No one will ever come forward to claim it because he made the deposit on the 27Th of September1999, for 6 years security deposit. On inquiry recently we found out that he and his wife died aboard Alaska Airlines Flight 261 on 31ST of January, 2000. Nobody has called since 5 years for the deposit and he left no traceable address. Please visit:- <http://archives.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/>.
The deposit paperwork will be changed to reflect you as the beneficiary and I will give you the deposit code, which you will quote to the security company. The security company will make an appointment with you for the signing of the necessary documents which I will brief you before you come. The other documents, a copy of the deposit certificate and the power of Attorney, I will secretly send to you. There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be done by an Attorney and my position as the Storage Keeper operations with the BBVA Affiliated Security & Finance S.A, guarantees the successful execution of this deal.
If you are interested, please reply immediately via the private email address below. Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details and relevant documents that will help you understand the transaction. Please observe utmost confidentiality, and rest assured that this transaction would be most Profitable for both of us. Our sharing ratio is 50-50. Contact me through this e-mail address: christopherdixon2002@yahoo.co.uk or my private phone number, 0034 680 842 728, any time of the day.
Thanks and regards
Christopher D. Dixon
