Dear Friend.
My name is Dr. Zakki Akaka, I am the credit manager of Natwest Bank Plc here
in the United Kingdom. I am contacting you of a business transfer,of a huge
sum of money from a deceased account. Though I know that a transaction of
this magnitude will make any one apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring
you that everything has been taken care off, and all will be well at the end
of the day. I decided to contact you due to the urgency of this transaction.
PROPOSITION;
I am the account officer of a foreigner named Jean Gandesbery and her
husband Robert Gandesbery who died in an air crash along with his wife on
the January 31 in an Alaska airline Flight 261 with other passengers on
board. You can confirm this from the website below which was published by
CNN.WEBSITE.http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/
Since his death, none of his next-of-kin are alive to make claims for this
money as his heir, because they all died in the same accident himself and
his wife (May their soul rest in peace). We cannot release the fund from his
account unless someone applies for claim as the next-of-kin to the deceased
as indicated in our banking guidelines. Upon this discovery, I now seek your
permission to have you stand as a next of kin to the deceased, as all
documentations will be carefully worked out by me for the funds
(US$15,300,000,00) to be released in your favor as the beneficiary's next of
kin.
Because after four years the money will be called back to the bank treasury
as unclaimed bills and the money shared amongst the directors of the bank.
so it is on this note i decided to seek for whom his name shall be used as
the next of kin/beneficiary to this funds rather than allow the bank
directors to share this money amongst themselves at the end of the year.
It may interest you to know that we have secured from the probate an order
of mandamus to locate any of the deceased beneficiaries. Please acknowledge
receipt of this message in acceptance of our mutual business endeavor by
furnishing me with the following information if you are interested.
1.A Beneficiary name.In order for me to prepare the document for transfer of
the funds in your name. 2. Direct Telephone and fax numbers.For our personal
contact and mutual trust in each other.
I shall be compensating you with Four million dollars ($4,000,000,00) on
final conclusion of this project for your assistance, while the balance
$11,300,000 dollars shall be for me for investment purposes. Because I
intend to retire after the conclusion of this transaction. If this proposal
is acceptable by you, please endeavor to contact me immediately. Do not take
undue advantage of the trust I have bestowed in you.
I await your urgent response
Regards,
Dr. Zakki Akaka
