Subject: FROM MR.MORGAN JONES.
Hello,
I am a 49 years old British citizen, my name are Morgan G. Jones, a General
Manager of a Financial company here in Europe
On Tuesday, 19 January, 1999, one Dr. Paul A. Jacobi, an American citizen,
made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit, valued at £10,550,000.00 GBP (Ten
Million, Five Hundred and Fifty Thousand Pounds) for twelve calendar months
in my Company Branch.
Upon Maturity, we 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 company that Dr. Paul A. Jacobi was aboard the Egypt Air Flight
990, which crashed into the Atlantic Ocean on October 31, 1999. After
further investigation, it was discovered that he died without making a WILL
and all attempts to trace his next of kin proved abortive.
On further investigation, it was discovered that Late Dr. Paul A. Jacobi did
not declare any next of kin or relatives in all his official documents,
including his funds Deposit paper work here in our Company. The total sum,
£10,550,000.00 is still in my Company 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.
In accordance with our banking laws and constitution, at the expiration of 6
(six) years, the money will revert to the our Government treasury if nobody
applies as the next of Kin to claim the funds. Consequently, I shall present
you as a foreign partner to stand in as the next of kin to the late Dr. Paul
A. Jacobi.
Upon acceptance of this proposal, I shall send to you the our company "Next
of Kin Payment Application Form" as well as detailed information on how this
deal would be carried out. We shall employ the services of a solicitor for
the drafting of the LAST WILL & TESTAMENT of Late Dr. Paul A. Jacobi and to
obtain all other relevant papers in your name for the necessary
documentation for payment approval in my company headquarters in your
favour. The money will be shared in the ratio: Sixty-five percent for me,
thirty five percent for you (£3,692,500 British pounds). Hope this will be
satisfactory.
I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that
will protect you from any breach of the law as I will use my position as the
company's head to secure approvals and guarantee the successful execution of
this transaction. Please be informed that your utmost confidentiality is
required. Should this proposal meet your interests respond back via my
alternate e-mail: mrmorganjones@yahoo.com.hk.
Awaiting your urgent response.
Thanks.
Respectfully,
Mr. Morgan G. Jones. (mrmorganjones@yahoo.com.hk)
Ps. In your response furnish me with your confidential contact Tel, Fax and
mailing Address for further contact.
