BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY: ASSISTANCE REQUIRED URGENTLY.
RE: Transfer of $38.5M (Thirty Eight Million Five
Hundred Thousand United States Dollars)
First, I want you to understand that I have decided to
contact you after serious consideration to participate in this
business transaction I am about to propose.
My name is Neil Gardiner. I work as the Funds Manager
of one of UK's biggest fund management companies.
During our just concluded account auditing, I discovered that the sum
of USD38.5M has been floating in our Offshore Strategy
Funds account for six years. This money was deposited for investment
purposes by one of clients MR Frederick M. Wong who unfortunately lost
his life with his wife in an Air crash that occurred in 1999.
Upon further inquiries, I discovered that the reason
this money has been floating for this long is because MR Frederick M.
Wong did not include any name of NEXT OF KIN in the details that we
have. Another reason is that, my company has tried without any
success to locate any one that could be related to MR Frederick M. Wong hence my
reason for contacting you.
The Proposition:-
Since I work as the Funds Manager, I want to seek your
approval to slot in your name as the NEXT OF KIN of MR Frederick M.
Wong and claim the money as the sole beneficiary after which the money
will be wired into your private account.
Let me assure you that your participation in this transaction is 100%
risk free. I have worked in the company for 15 years so I know
everything about a transaction of this nature. All I require is your
100% co-operation and support and I will ensure that the money is approved
to you as the sole beneficiary and have it wired directly into your private
account in less than 10 working days. Upon the successful transfer of
the money into your account, I will immediately join you in your country
for the sharing of the money. The following shall however be the sharing pattern:- 60% will go to me while you will take 40% of the total amount.
Kindly respond with all your contact details: direct telephone number,
private email address and your direct fax number so that I can provide
you with the procedure to successfully conclude this transaction.
Thank you.
Neil Gardiner.
