Subject: GOOD DAY.
Dear Friend,
I am Mr. Andrie Bramintya, Branch Manager of Australia & New Zealand Banking
Group Limited of 1 Raffles Place #32-00 OUB Centre Singapore 048616. I have
urgent and very confidential business proposition for you.A British Oil
consultant/contractor with the Singapore Solid Minerals Corporation,
{Mr.Wilson H. Diamond} made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve
calendar months, valued at US$10,750,000.00 (Ten Million, Seven Hundred and
Fifty Thousand Dollars) in my branch. Upon maturity, I sent a routine
notification to his forwarding address but got no reply.
After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his
contract employers, the Singapore Solid Minerals Corporation that Mr.Wilson
H. Diamond died in a plane crash along with his wife, Mr and Mrs Wilson &
Sarah Diamond in 2000 air crash. Since we got this information about his
death. On further investigation, I found out that he died without making a
WILL, and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless.
I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr.Diamond did
not declare any kin or relations in all his official documents, including
his Bank Deposit paper work in my Bank. This sum of US$10,750,000.00 is
still sitting in my Bank and the interest is being rolled over with the
principal sum at the end of each year. No one will ever come forward to
claim it.
According to Laws of Singapore, at the expiration of 5 (five) years which is
this year, the money will revert to the ownership of the Government if
nobody applies to claim the fund. Consequently, my proposal is that I will
like you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to Mr. Diamond so
that the fruits of this old man's labor will not get into the hands of some
corrupt government officials.
This is simple, I will like you to provide immediately your full names and
address so that the attorney will prepare the necessary documents and
affidavits that will put you in place as the next of kin. We shall employ
the services of an attorney for drafting and notarization of the WILL and to
obtain the necessary documents in your favor for the transfer. A bank
account in any part of the world that you will provide will then facilitate
the transfer of this money to you as the beneficiary/next of kin. The money
will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of 70% for me
and 30% for you.
There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be
done by the attorney and my position as the Branch Manager Guarantees the
successful execution of this transaction. 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 send me your confidential
telephone and fax numbers for easy communication. Please observe utmost
confidentiality, and be rest assured that this transaction would be most
profitable for both of us because I shall require your assistance to invest
my share in your country.
Awaiting your urgent reply,
an333@k.ro
