Good day to you,
Let me start by introducing myself, I am Mr. Chiang Su Wang, Credit Officer Bank Of China (Hong Kong) Limited I have an obscured business proposal for you.
My friend, and client, Alexandros Oileus Boethius,Before the U.S led Iraqi war, who (in this case I am his accounting officer) was with the Iraqi forces and also businessman made a numbered fixed deposit for 18 calendar months and advised that after the maturity, that the money should be transfered to our affiliate branch in Europe. Now, the total value of the money is Twenty two millions Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars only and the money is in our affiliate branch in Europe.
Upon maturity several notice was sent to him, even during the war early this year. Again after the war another notification was sent and still no response came from him. I as his accounting officer(as all correspondence to him is passed through me) later found out that the Alexandros and his family had been killed during the war in a bomb blast that hit their home.
Since the Late Alexandros Boethius was one of my most performing account,I am also in knowledge that his account opening package for the money in question did not contain any next of kin, and as such, efforts to locate one have proved abortive.
My experiences with such occurrence have shown that such money end being dissipated as unclaimed funds, and are lost to the crown.
I cannot move the money in my name because he was my associate, for it could arouse suspicion thus the importance of your assistance to move the money into your designated account. I will like you to come foward as the beneficiary of the late Alexandros Oileus Boethius.
What is required of you to enable us achieve the above are your:
Full and Official Names
Address
Date of Birth
Telephone
On the strength of this I shall brief a solicitor on our concern and he will help get probate to approve of your claim.
Upon receipt of a confirmation of acceptance from you, a sharing ratio would be worked out between us.
be sure to reach me.
Have a nice day.
Sincerely,
Mr. Chiang Su Wang
