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.
