Attention: Sir/Madam,
Re: Inheritance Fund
My name is Mr. Robert Le Blanc, Group Risk Director with the Barclays Group
Bank: 1 Churchill Place, London E14 5HP. I got your email address from the
BRITISH EXCHANGE NETWORK online in LONDON as a reliable and trustworthy person
and that is why I am contacting you on a business involving a huge sum of money
from a deceased person deposited in the bank where I work here in London. Though
I know that a business of this magnitude will make anyone apprehensive and
curious.
Previously I discovered an abandoned deposit of money owned by one of our
foreign customers Late Dr. Michael Woods; who died along with his wife and two
kids in an automobile crash. He actually deposited this funds amounting to
$16,410,000 (Sixteen Million four Hundred and Ten Thousand United States
Dollars), for safe keeping in Barclays Group Bank here in London and our filed
record shows that the funds was actually for a project he wanted to start in
the near future (a multi million Dollar steel planting in Florida, USA), before
his sudden and untimely death.
Since his death none of his relations or next-of-kin has come forward to claims
this fund as the heir. Sotherefore I kindly seek your permission to have you
stand as a next of kin to the deceased; because my bank will not release the
money unless someone applies for claim as the next-of-kin to the deceased as
indicated in our operating guidelines. Please I need your urgent co-operation
because I do not want this money to go into the Bank Treasury. The UK banking
policy and guideline stipulates that any unclaimed money belonging to a
deceased person for the period of 5 years will be transferred into the Banks
Treasury as an unclaimed debt. In this regard please indicate your interest by
sending me your details as follow: 1. Beneficiary full Name and Address, 2.
Direct Telephone and Fax number, 3. Occupation and Position, 4. Nationality and
Date of birth, 5. Marital status, 6. Gender/Sex.
These requirements will enable me prepare all necessary documents that will
enable you file letter of claim to the appropriate departments for necessary
approvals in your favour before the transfer could be processed. Bear in mind
that at the end of this business I will compensating you with 30% of the total
money, please do not take undue advantage of the trust I have bestowed on you,
God bless.
Best Regards,
Mr. Robert Le Blanc
