Subject: GOOD NEW Project Proposal.........
Dr.Jeffery Hill.
220 Balham High Road
Central London W17 7BQ
United Kingdom.
Dear Friend,
I know that this mail will come to you out of the blue as a total surprise.
Well, I have a business
proposal which I know might interest you. I believe that you would be in a
position to assist me in
my bid to transfer the sum of (£18.5M.) Eighteen Million Five Hundred
Thousand British Pounds
into a foreign bank account. So study the following account carefully and
reply urgently.
I am .Dr.Jeffery Hill, an Auditor of a bank here in London. During the
course of our auditing, I
discovered a floating fund in an account opened in the bank in 1999 and
since 2000 nobody has
operated on this account.After a lot of investigation I discovered that the
owner of the bank account died without a beneficiary.The money is floating
and if I do not remit this money out it will be forfeited for nothing. The
owner of the account is Mr. Magnus Smith, a foreigner. He died since 2000
and the bank account has no other beneficiary. My investigation proved to me
that nobody knows about this account or anything concerning it. So I want to
grab this opportunity, as it is no harm to nobody.
I am here soliciting for your assistance as aforeigner because the money
cannot be approved to
anybody here. But It can be approved to a foreigner with valid international
passport or drivers
license and foreign bank account because the money at sake is in British
Pound sterling and the
former owner of the account is a foreigner.The management must approve this
payment to you if
you have the correct information of this account, which I will give to you,
upon your positive
response and once I am convinced that you are capable and will meet up with
instruction of key
bank official who is deeply involved with me in this project.
With my influence and the position of the bank officials, we can transfer
this money to any
foreigner’s reliable account, which you can provide with assurance that this
money will be intact
pending our physical arrival at your end for sharing. Note that an existing
foreign bank account or an
empty account can serve to receive this money. The banks official will
destroy all documents of the
transaction immediately this money is into your nominated bank account.At
the conclusion of this
business, you will be given 20% of the total amount, 75% will be for the
bank official and I, while
5% will be for expenses both parties might have incurred during the course
of this transaction.
May I stop here. Reply urgently so that I will inform you the next step to
take. Send also your
private phone and fax number including the full details of the bank account
to used for the deposit.
Best regards.
Dr.Jeffery Hill.
