Subject: waiting to hearing from you
Hello Mr. Sachi Vleck ,
I confirm the receipt of your mail, and I want to assure you that the
transaction I have brought to you is legitimate and very straight forward
and will take about seven Bank working days from the day we start working on
it.
My good friend you know as the personal accountant to late Engr. Sermon
Barnhill all through his stay here till his death, I make bold to tell you
that i will give every information¡¦s that will lead us to achieve our
expected success to you as we continue on this, the bank has been expecting
next of kin to the deceased to formally apply for the release of the
inheritance fund. Considering the fact that you are a foreigner and your
name tallies with his name, we can make this claim if we put heads together
and if you follow my instructions from letter A-Z to avoid anything that
will jeopardize the success of this transaction.
I have contacted you base on the fact that you are a foreigner noting that
you are not related to the deceased.
I want you to understand that your not being his blood brother is never a
barrier to the success of the business. your name having something to do
with his name either as a first name or second name is an express ticket to
this transaction. As you can bear with me. a next of kin to one can be his
father, mother, sister, brother, distant relations(cousin, nephew,
niece),in-law, business associates friend, or even a well wisher.
To set this transaction on course, I want you to know that it is required
that an application has to be submitted to the bank with regards to the
claim. as soon as this is done the bank will consider and then contact you
on immediate transfer modalities. you should have to understand that if this
were what I can do without somebody fronting him/herself as the next of kin,
I wouldn't have contacted you at all. Moreover ,if it were possible for me
to use any person I can lay my hands on, I would have presented somebody
here without going through the stress of looking for a foreigner that will
assist me for the claim.
I hope I have been explicit enough. Please Do not allow any body in my
office to know that i am the insider or i know anything about this. get back
to me immediately on 234-803-8426117 for further discuss.please do furnish
me with your direct telephone number for easy communication.
Hoping to here from you soonest.
Regards,
Ken Philips.
