Subject: URGENT PROPOSITION
Naturally, this letter will come to you as a surprise,since I am Barrister
JOHNSON JOHN T contacting you to kindly assist me in the proposition below,
which will be of mutual benefit to us both.
PROPOSITION:
A salvadorean, Mr. Ramirez Videurre, 66 years of age and a very prosperous
farmer made a huge bank deposit for investment in the sum of US$14.8 Million
Dollars (fourteen million eight hundred thousand United States Dollars)he
named his wife Mrs. Helga Videurre as the NEXT OF KIN . I was called upon as
an
Accredited Attorney to the bank to sign and endorse documents to this
deposit on Mr.
Videurre's behalf .Unfortunately , Mr. & Mrs. Videurre were killed in the
January 14,
earthquake that rocked El Salvador ,killing thousands of people and 1200
others were declared missing. The bank management now mandates me (being
the lawyer that signed and endorsed the deposit papers for the deceased
to trace the family relatives of the deceased so that the fund will be
released to them. I was made to understand that they had no children.
I made several efforts through the El Salvador High Commission in Cotonou to
contact any of the deceased family relatives, but to no avail. Failure to
reach any of the family relatives of the deceased , the only option left for
the
Bank's Management is to declare the deceased account dormant and revert the
fund
trading and investment in the interest of the bank, in order to avoid
this development since it has so far been impossible to trace any of the
deceased family relatives. I now seek your permission and assistance to
have you stand as a distant relatives to the deceased. So that the fund
can be released to you and we can use it for our mutual benefit.
I hope you do understand my concern in this matter, if we do not use
this opportunity to claim this fund , the management of the bank will
declare the deceased's account
dormant and revert the fund on Trading and Investment in the interest of the
bank.
For your assistance, you will be compensated adequately with (40%) of the
total
sum (55%) will be my own share while (5%) will be set aside to cover any
incidental expense made both at home and abroad prior to this transaction.
If
you are interested in assisting me with this matter, please send to me
urgently via EMAIL the following details below:
*Full name, Company or Private Address
*Telephone and Fax number(s).
Upon receiving the above details from you, I will work out every
documents/proof
representing you as the deceased BONA-FIDE distant relative and when this
is done, you will be contacted by the bank for the release and collection
of this fund, which will be within one week of my receiving the above
details from you .I will meet with you in your country for disbursement
after the fund
have been released to you and also to discuss investment potentials as I
will like to invest in your country with your assistance.
Be assured that this transaction is 100% risk free, as I have taken care of
all necessary modalities to enable a hitch free transaction. Kindly ensure
to treat this
matter in strict privacy (Highly Confidential).
Hoping to hear from you soonest.
yours sincerely,
Johnson John T
