ATTN: Good Friend,
Greetings to you, This letter must come to you as a big surprise, but I
believe it is only a day that people meet and become great friends and
business partners. My name is Ken Wasky, I write you this proposal in good
faith, believing that I can trust you with the information I am about to
reveal to you. Like I said, I a have transaction that will benefit both of
us, as your assistance is required as a foreigner.
I am the attorney and personal assistant to Mr Ziya Bazhayev. It may
interest you to know that my client is a very wealthy and man of means.Late
Mr. Ziya Bazhayev is a Russian big time Oil dealer, who unfortunately lost
his life in the Yak-40jetliner on March 9, 2000. You will read more news
about the crash on visiting these site;
http://archives.cnn.com/2000/WORLD/europe/03/09/russia.crash.04/
Two months before his demise, he made a deposit of 16.4m pounds
sterling(sixteen million four hundred thousand) into a bank in UK for the
purpose of buying an oilfield in ANGOLA, unfortunately he died before the
government of ANGOLA gave accent to his proposals, you know about government
and bureaucracy. This deposit is very secret because he wanted to get the
oil bloc without the knowledge of the board members of his company.
Now this funds is about to be reverted to British government ownership if
nobody comes up to claimthe money. Now, i want you to file a claim as the
next of kin to Mr Ziya Bazhayev so that we can take this funds out.I cannot
directly take out this money without the help of a foreigner and that is why
I am contacting you for an
assistance to claim the funds and share it with me.
As his attorney and personal assistant, i have the documents concerning the
release of the funds to any foreigner that comes up as the next of kin to
claim the funds with the correct information concerning the account, which
I shall give you. I am seeking your co
-operation to present you as the next of kin to the account. There is
practically no risk involved, the transaction will be executed under a
legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of law.
If you accept to work with me, I propose we share the 50-50, so that both
parties will be satisfied. Contact me soon as you receive this message if
you feel we can work together,so as to give you more details. Thanking you
in advance and may God bless you. Please, treat with utmost confidentiality.
I wait your urgent response.
Regards.
