ATTENTION:Hubert Raulerson
Dear sir/Madam,
Through some discreet online search from my local chambers
of commerce, you were revealed as being quite astute in
Entrepreneurship. One has no doubt in your ability to handle an
international business of considerable TRUST, which may form the
bedrock of an extensive business partnership in the future.
PROPOSITION:
Presently in my bank here in Europe we have a treasury,
which has remained unclaimed since 2004. And the treasury will
be converted to UNCLAIMED DEPOSIT and therefore forfeited if nobody
comes forward to lay claim to the deposit before the end of this
financial quarter, as this is the practice and also indicated in the EU
banking guidelines.
This treasury was deposited by one Mr.Hubert Raulerson, late,who lost his life,and that, of his only daughter in the Tsunami disaster while on holidays in phuket in Thailand.And all effect to trace his relations has been unsuccessful since he lost his wife and parents many years ago,and the lone benefeciary (his daughter),also lost her life in the diasater.
It may interest you to know that we have secured
from the probate registry of the High Court an order of mandamus to
locate and transfer the rights and privileges of the treasury to any of
the account's beneficiaries. This is why I am contacting you.We now
seek your understanding to have you stand as the Beneficiary/Next of
Kin to the deceased person. Do not be bothered as we will carefully
and legally work out all necessary documents in your favor as the new
Beneficiary/Next-of-Kin to the Treasury.
I want to count on you as a
person of respect and honest disposition and hope that you will handle
this transaction with all maturity and confidentiality it deserves. In
order to get the process started, I would require that you contact me
immediately only if you are intersted via my alternative email: mr.alisonbriggs@e-mail.ro
Because of the confidentiality of this transaction,we would open further diaolgue
and communication only after full interest and trust have be signified and show by
you.
I have reposed my confidence in you and hope that you will
not disappoint me.
Yours Sincerely,
Briggs Alson
NOTE: If however,
you are not disposed to assist, kindly delete/destroy this email in
view of the confidentiality of the proposed transaction and interest of
personalities involved.
