FROM THE DESK OF MR ROBERT ANDRIE
AUDITIN AND ACCOUNTING MANAGER,
Australia & New Zealand
Banking Group Limited
(A.N.Z)
1 Raffles Place #32-00
OUB Centre Singapore 048616.
consultant/contractor
GOOD DAY,
I am Mr. Andrie Robert, 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 privateemail address below.
Upon your response, I shall thenprovide you with more
details and relevant documentsthat 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.
This transaction has to be done within a peroid of a weeks and three days
and it very confidecial,
Best Regards,
Andrie Robert.
