UNITED
KINGDOM.
My name is Mr.David Smith. I am a friend and a personal councellor to a
former credit manager and then the account officer of a foreigner named
Gerard St.Germain who died in an air crash along with his wife on the
31st October 1999 in an Egyptian airline 990, with other passengers on
board. You can confirm this from the website below.
http://www.cnn.com/US/9911/02/egyptair990.list/index.html
My friend resigned from the bank months ago because of internal family
problems,but before his resignaton he was managing the deposit account
of the late Gerard St Germain were he had access to some vital
information as to how the funds will be paid to the next of kin.
Since his death, none of his next-of-kin is alive to make claims for
this money as his heir,because they all died in the same accident, him
and the wife, Yvette St.Germain and their children(May their soul rest in
peace).
The bank cannot release the funds from his account unless someone
applies for the claim as the next-of-kin to the deceased as indicated in
their banking guidelines. Upon this discovery, my friend asked me to look
for a reliable person to stand as the next of kin because he can not
handle this directly since he has worked in the bank.
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 and my
friend for the funds valued (?5,000,000.00) to be released in your
favour as the beneficiary s next of kin. After four years the bank is
permitted by law of UK to send the money to the treasury as unclaimed bills
and the money shared amongst the directors of the bank. It is on this
basis, that my friend asked me to seek for whom 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.
Please acknowledge receipt of this message in acceptance to this noble
offer by furnishing me with the following information if you are
interested.
1.A Beneficiary name and address in order for me to to get a probate
for the transfer of the funds in your name.
2. Direct Telephone and fax numbers.For our personal contact and mutual
discussion.
Upon your acceptance, I shall give you my direct telephone number so
that we can discuss freely.We shall be compensating you with four million
pounds (?Million ) on final conclusion of this project for your
assistance,while the remaining ?1 Million will be shared between me and my
friend. If this proposal is acceptable by you, please endeavor to contact
me immediately,if not please disregard this email.
Regards,
David Smith
