Dear Friend,
I was checking through an economic mailing list belonging
to a group of personal and business gazette magazine. I was
really amazed and fascinated to have noticed that
the new updated database has increased with new interesting
members. Since, you have been listed in the database; I will
make the first initiative by introducing myself to you.
I am Roland Ian , a private financial consultant Account
portfolio manager. I happen to have managed a particular
account for a Resident Foreigner, here in the United
Kingdom, who accidentally died Interstate, leaving in our
care a reasonable amount in a Domiciliary United States
Dollars Account. The Highly confidential nature of our
client and our Business Confidential disposition on Client
to client Basis did not warrant us to have an easily
identifiable next of Kin to this particular Client. I
have made several enquiries to locate any of my clients
relatives, immediate and extended. This has proved
unsuccessful. Hence, I am contacting you. I need you to
assist in securing the money and property left behind by my
client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable
by the Finance House here in the United Kingdom where his
deposits were lodged. The Finance House has issued a
Government Mandatory
Formality, notice to provide the Next of Kin or have the
account confiscated within the next one month. Since I have
been unsuccessful in locating any of his relatives for over
two years and convinced that no one is coming up and having
satisfied the mandatory legal requirement of
Beneficiary/next of kin Notification, I now seek a Reliable
and Trustworthy person, with your consent and perfect
understanding, to
present you as the next of kin of the deceased so that the
proceeds of this account valued at Twenty One Million, Three
Hundred And Twenty Thousand United States Dollars, interest
Inclusive, can be paid into an account to be provided by
you( preferably outside the United Kingdom Financial
Institutions or its Isles), as the perceived Next Of Kin
Legally and Otherwise.
I have all necessary documents to back up these claims as
Next of Kin on your behalf. All I require is your honest
cooperation and confidence in me, which I believe that it is
not easy as we have not done similar transaction before and
not by reference. Hence
the reason I choose to call this a Deal, as it will be based
on trust to enable us see this transaction through. I
guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the
law. I would advise that you give this a positive
consideration and get back to me soon I would be very
flexible as well as considerate in percentage share that
will be given to you for your assistance.
Upon receipt of your response l will send to you my private
number so that you can reach me for further discussion
regarding this project.
In anticipation of your prompt response.
Best regards,
Roland Ian .
