United Kingdom.
Hello, I am Mr tom alison Auditor of a London bank. During the course of
our auditing,I discovered a floating fund of(£18.5M.)eighteen Million
Five Hundred Thousand British Pounds in an account opened in the bank in 2002 and
since 2003 nobody has operated on this account. After a lot of investigation I discovered that the owner of the account
died without a beneficiary. The money is floating and if I do not remit
this money out it will be forfeited for nothing. The owner of the account is a foreigner.He died since 2003 and the
account has no other beneficiary. My investigation proved to me that nobody
knows about this account or anything concerning it.So I want to grab
this opportunity, as it is no harm to nobody to transfer the money out. I need your assistance as a foreigner because the money cannot be
approved to anybody here. The management must approve this payment to you if
you have the correct information of this account, which I will give to
you,upon your positive response and once I am convinced that you are
capable and will meet up with instruction of key bank official who is deeply
involved with me in this project.
With our influence,we can transfer the money to any foreigner's
reliable account,which you can provide with assurance that this money will be
intact pending our physical arrival at your end for sharing.
At the conclusion of this business, you will be give 20% of the total
amount, 75% will be for the bank official and I, while 5% will be for
expenses both parties might have incurred during the course of this
transaction. Regards.
Mr. tom alison
