Subject: GET BACK TO ME
Dear,
Do accept my sincere apologies if my mail does not meet your personal
ethics. I introduce myself as Mr. Michael Albert a staff in the accounts
management Section of a well-known bank here in the United Kingdom.
One of our accounts with holding balance of £15,000,000(Fifteen Million
British Pounds) has been dormant and last operated in the past 5 years. From
my investigations and confirmations, the owner of this account is a
Foreigner by name John Shumejda died on the 4th of January 2002 on a plane
crash in Birmingham here in UK.
Since then nobody has done anything as regards the claiming of this money as
he has no family Member who is aware of the existence of either the account
nor the Funds. Information from the National Immigration also states that he
was single on entry into the UK.
I have confidentially discussed this issue with some of the bank officials
and we have agreed to find a reliable foreign partner to deal with. We thus
propose to do business with you, standing in as the next of kin of the
deceased and have the funds released to you after due processes have been
followed.
This transaction is totally free of risk and troubles as the fund is
legitimate and does not originate from drug, money laundry, terrorism or
any other Illegal act.
On your interest, let me hear from you.
Regards,
Mr. Michael Albert
