ATTN:
I am a Manager in the Claims Department of the above Bank located in Madrid, Spain. Our bank offers various product lines one of which is the ARB CASH ACCUMULATION SPECIAL SAVINGS PLAN. This plan enables a customer save for old age under our 10yrs, 12yrs, 15yrs and 18yrs with added value of over 200% in addition to full payment of plan value incase of sudden death or permanent incapacitation. Presently, there is a rewarding opportunity I discovered in our bank that requires special co-operation and matured handling.
A wealthy and now deceased customer of our Bank - Mr. Mendo Martinez Luis Carlos, resident here in Madrid, operated a 15yrs life scheme with our bank. The value of this account is Three million Dollars; he died last Seven years without leaving any heir behind.
The late Mr. Luis Carlos who unfortunately lost his life in the plane crash of Swiss Air Flight Number 111 which crashed on 2nd September 1998. You can read more about the news on visiting this site:http:www.newscotland1398.net/lunenco/swissbaysw.html.
No other person knows about this account or any thing concerning it, the account has no next of kin and I wish to transfer this money into a safe foreign account abroad for our mutual benefits. It turned out that our client was engaged in METAL IVOIRE COMPANY LTD deals with some government personnel in East and South Africa. I do not know any of his Relative.
I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money cannot be approved to a local account here in our country but to a foreigner who has information about the account which I shall give to you upon your positive response. I am revealing this to you with believe in God that you will never let me down in this business.
Note: You are the first and the only person I am contacting for this business. Please, as soon as possible so that I will inform you the next step to take.
I guarantee you that this transaction will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect both parties from any breach of the law. I will use my position and influence to obtain all legal approvals for onward transfer of this money to your account with
appropriate clearance from the relevant ministries and foreign exchange department. PLEASE, TREAT THIS PROPOSAL AS A TOP SECRET. Provide me with your telephone and fax number so that I can call you.
I await your positive reply.
