Dear Sir/Madam.
I am BARRISTER TOM JAMES(Esq.,a Brithon And a Personal Attorney Of Jean
Gandesber And Robert Gandesbery here in the United Kingdom. I am contacting
you of a business transfer,of a huge sum of money from a deceased account.
Though I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make any
oneapprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you that everything has
beentaken care off, and all will be well at the end of the day. I decided
tocontact you due to the urgency of this transaction.
PROPOSITION;I am the account officer of a foreigner named Jean Gandesbery
and her husband Robert Gandesbery who died in an air crash along with his
wife
on the January 31 in an Alaska airline Flight 261 with other passengers
on board. You can confirm this from the website below which was published
by CNN.WEBSITE.
http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/Since his
death, none of his next-of-kin are alive to make claims for this money as
his heir, because they all died in the same accident
himself and his wife (May their soul rest in peace). We cannot release
the fund from his account unless someone applies for claim as the
next-of-kin to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines.
Upon this discovery, I now seek your permission to have you stand as a
next of kin to the deceased, as all documentations will be carefully
worked out by me for the funds (US$15,300,000,00) to be released in your
favor
as the beneficiary's next of kin. Because after four years the money will
be called back to the bank treasury as unclaimed bills and the money shared
amongst the directors
of the bank. so it is on this note i decided to seek for whom his name
shall be used as the next of kin/beneficiary to this funds rather than
allow the bank directors to share this money amongst themselves at the end
of the
year. It may interest you to know that we have secured from the probate
an order of mandamus to locate any of the deceased beneficiaries.
Please acknowledge receipt of this message in acceptance of our mutual
business endeavor by furnishing me with the following information ifyou
are interested.
1.A Beneficiary name.In order for me to prepare the document fortransfer of
the funds in your name.
2. Direct Telephone and fax numbers.For our personal contact and mutual
trust in each other. I shall be compensating you with Four million dollars
($4,000,000,00)on final conclusion of this project for your assistance,
while the
balance$11,300,000 dollars shall be for me for investment purposes.
Because I intend to retire after the conclusion of this transaction. If
this proposal is acceptable by you, please endeavor to contact me
immediately. Do not take undue advantage of the trust I have bestowed
inyou, I await
your urgent response
Best Regards,
BARRISTER TOM JAMES (Esq)
