JP Morgan,
London.
Dear Friend,
I am one of the transfer officers of JP Morgan London and
my name is Mrs. Cindy Elliott. Please permit me to make this
plea to you and if interested, do not hesitate to get back to
me via my email immediately for further action.
Last 4 years, a group of men from Africa were able to move
the sum of $32M to our branch in London and since then,
none of them have shown up to lay claims on the said amount.
Several calls have been made to the owners and none was
successful on the numbers given and now I have all the paper
work to transfer the funds via our payment office here in London
to your account without any trace as all documents will be destroyed
by me immediately the transfer is taken place after 5 days of receiving
your details.
Please this is very confidential and must not be discussed with
anyone else as I have prepared all my documents to resign once
transfer is made to your account. Also you will assure me that you
will not disappear with the funds hence I make this plea in good faith.
The funds will be shared on 60-40 bases to avoid greed on both sides.
If you are interested, get back to me and we shall get this done.
Yours Faithfully,
Cindy Elliott.
