I am Mr. Allen Smith, a private financial consultant
/Account
portfolio manager. I happen to have managed a particular
account for
a russian by name engineer serge oleg, here in the United
Kingdom,
who died Intestate in iraq last year. leaving in our care a
sizeable
amount in a domiciliary United States Dollars Investment
Account. For
some reasons, this client does not have an easily
identifiable next
of Kin. I have made several enquiries to locate any of my
client.s
relatives; immediate and extended, this has proved
unsuccessful,
hence, I am contacting you. I need your assistance in
securing the
money left behind by my client before they get declared
unserviceable
by the Security & Finance house here in Europe. The
Security Firm and
Finance House has already issued a Government
Mandatory formality
notice to provide the Next of Kin or have the account
confiscated and
this should expire within a month.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating any of his
relatives for
over a year plus and convinced that no one is coming
forth, and haven
satisfied the mandatory legal requirement of
Beneficiary/next of kin
Notification, I now seek a reliable and trustworthy person,
with your
consent and perfect understanding, to present you as the
next of kin
of the deceased so that the proceeds of this account
valued at
US$21,320,000.00 (Twenty One Million, Three Hundred And
Twenty
Thousand United States Dollars), interest inclusive, can be
paid into
an account to be provided by you (preferably outside the
United
Kingdom Financial Institutions or its Isles), as the
perceived Next
of Kin, legally and otherwise.
All I require is your honest cooperation and confidence in
me; which
I know would not come easy. I guarantee that this will be
executed
under a legitimate background that will protect you from
any breach
of the law. I would advise that you give this positive
consideration
and get back to me soon. I'll be flexible and considerate in
the
percentage share that will be given to you for your
assistance. Upon
receipt of your response I'll send to you my private number
so that
you can reach me for further discussion. I expect your
urgent
response and if in the affirmative, with a confirmation of
your full
name and present location, I shall then advice you on what
we need to
do.
Best regards,
Mr. Allen Smith
London. United Kingdom.
