Subject: About The Japanese Oil Consultant With Mr.Lawrence Smith
PRIVATE AND VERY URGENT.
Dear Friend
With Kind Regard and Respect to your personality,I am Dr.Casmir Poyh,An account Manager of Commercial Bank Plc.
I have urgent and very confidential business proposition for you.
I request that you do not feel disturbed as I know that business of this magnitude will surely make one apprehensive.
Well,On November 6,2000,A Japanese Oil consultant/contractor with the Chinese Solid Minerals Corporation, Mr.Lawrence Smith made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at US$30,000,000.00 (Thirty Million Dollars) in Our branch.
Upon maturity,I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply,After some months,I sent a reminder and finally I discovered from his contract employers, the Chinese Solid Minerals Corporation that our customer died from an automobile accident,On further investigation, I found out that he died without making a WILL,and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless.
I therefore made further investigation and discovered that our customer did not declare any Kin or relations in all his official documents,including his Bank Deposit paper-work in our Bank.
This sum of US$30,000,000.00 is still sitting in our Bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year.No one will ever come forward to claim it According to Commercial Banking Industries Laws ,at the expiration of 6 (six) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the Commercial Bank if nobody applies to claim the fund.
Consequently,my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to our customer so that the fruits of this old man's labor will not get into the hands of some corrupt Directors,I will like you to provide immediately your full names and address so that the attorney will prepare the necessary documents and affidavits that will put you in place as the next of kin to our customer,We shall employ the services of an attorney for drafting and notarization of the WILL and to obtain the necessary documents and letter of probate/administration in your favor for the transfer,a bank account in any part of the world that you will provide will then facilitate the transfer of this money to you as the beneficiary next of kin.
The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of 45% for me and 30% for you,and 15% to cover all expenses that will occur during the transfer and finally 10% will sent for charity.
There is no risk at all as all the paper-work for this transaction will be done by the attorney and my position as the Account Manager guarantees the successful execution of this transaction. If you are interested, please reply immediately.Upon your response,I shall then provide you with more details and relevant documents that will help you understand the transaction.
Please observe utmost confidentiality,and rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require your assistance to invest my share in your country.
My interest in this abandoned deposit is as follows:
1) To see that this abandoned deposit is not handed over to the corrupt government officials
2)To make you the Next of Kin to the late Mr.Lawrence Smith and whom he has willed the said deposit before his death.Be rest assured that all the documents must be aprove by my office,and you must understand that our customer is a foreigner and local person can not lay hand into such claim.
3)To ensure that the deposited funds is transferred to your account as your INHERITANCE? So that the proceeds of this account valued at (US$30,000,000.00)can be paid to you and then you and I can share this money.
4) To ensure that my own share of it is invested wisely in your country in any valueble area of investment.Bear in mind that the entire transaction will be risk- free and legitimate since the funds will be coming to you as your INHERITANCE.
Please If this proposition is acceptable by you,respond to me ASAP but if not acceptable by you,do not take advantage of it to betray me.Remember that doing business over the Internet could sometimes be unconfidential.If acceptable by you kindly reply only this address via..
Awaiting your urgent reply.
