Subject: I need your assistance
Dear friend,
I am Ellis Roland, a private financial consultant/Account portfolio manager of BRISTOL AND WEST UK. And I Happen to have managed a particular account for a Resident Foreigner, here in the United Kingdom, who died In the state, leaving in our care a sizable amount in a domiciliary United States Dollars Investment ACC. For some reason 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 and property left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Finance House here in the United Kingdom. The 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 two years and convinced that no one is coming up and having 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 initially valued at $8,320,.000 (eight Million, Three Hundred And Twenty Thousand) United States Dollars, interest not 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 co-operation 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, please send your email reply to my personal address (eroland@cooperation.net)
Regards,
Ellis Roland.
