Subject: Greetings From Rich. -[Thu, 22 Jun 2006 21:01:35 +0000]
From: Dr. Richard Duke
Greetings from London
Before I introduce myself, I wish to inform you that this letter is not a hoax mail and I urge you to treat it serious. We want to transfer to overseas account (?30,000.000 Pounds) Thirty million British Pounds from a prime Bank here in London. I want to ask you, if you are not capable to quietly look for reliable and honest person who will be capable and fit to provide either an existing bank account or to set up a new Bank a/c immediately to receive this money, even an empty a/c can serve to receive this money, as long as you will remain honest to me till the end for this important business trusting in you and believing in God that you will never let me down either now or in future. I am Dr.Richard Duke, presently promoted to Auditor General in one of the Banks here in London. During the course of our auditing last week, I discovered a floating fund in an account opened in the bank in 1996 and since 1999 nobody has operated on this account again, after going through some o!
ld files in the records I discovere
d that the owner of the account died without a [Heir/WILL] hence the money is floating and if I do not remit this money out urgently it will be forfeited for nothing.
The owner of this account is Mr. Neal Walker an American and a great industrialist and a resident of Alaska State, who unfortunately lost his life along with his wife in the plane crash on the 31st October 1999 in an Egyptian airline 990 with other passengers on board was an American Oil consultant/contractor with the Chinese Solid Minerals Corporation. Since his death nobody has come forward to make claims for the money; because they all died in the same accident himself and his wife (May their soul rest in peace). No other person knows about this account or anything concerning it, the account has no other beneficiary and my investigation proved to me as well that the account is a secret account. The total amount involved is Thirty million British Pounds only [?30,000.000.00 Pounds] and we wish to transfer this money into safe foreigners account abroad. But I don't know any foreigner; I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money cannot be approved to a local p!
erson here, but to a foreigner who
has information about the account, which I shall give to you upon your positive response. I am revealing this to you with believe in God that you will never let me down in this business, you are the first and the only person that I am contacting for this business, so please reply urgently so that I will inform you the next step to take urgently.
At the conclusion of this business, you will be given 40% of the total amount, 50% will be for us while 10% will be for the expenses both parties may incurred during this transaction. PLEASE, TREAT THIS PROPOSAL AS TOP SECRET.
I look forward to your earliest reply
Best Regards,
Dr. Richard Duke.
