Subject: YOUR RESPONSE...................
Dear Sir/Ma,
My name is Alan Reeves, I am the credit manager with a bank here
in the United Kingdom. I am contacting you in respect of a
transaction of very great importance. Though I know that
contact this nature will make any one apprehensive and worried, I
am assuring you that everything has been taken care of, and you
have nothing to fear at all and i would be very glad if you would
allow me bring you to a clearer picture of what is on ground, what
we intend to do and how we intend to do it.
This enquiry involves a client who shares your surname.
It was brought to my knowledge that the aforementioned
client died intestate and nominated no next of kin to the title
over investments made. We came to know of you via the London.
Global. Database.Center (L.G.D.C.) Hence i am making this contact.
The essence of this communication with you is to
request that you provide me with information on 3 KEY issues.
1. Are you aware of any relative/relation having the same surname,
whose last known, contact address was Brussels, Belgium?
2. Are you aware of any investment of considerable value made by
such a person with any Private Bankers?
3 Can you establish beyond reasonable doubt your eligibility to
assume status of next of kin to the deceased?
He died in an air crash along with his wife on the 31st October
1999 in an Egyptian airline boeing 990 with other passengers on
board. You can confirm this fact from the website which was aired
by the BBC WORLD NEWS:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/502503.stm Since his death,
none of his relatives or associates have
come forward to lay claims to his funds as next-of-kin, and on my
own i have made concerted effort to locate any of his relatives but
all proved abortive.
Based on the ethics and policies of the bank,it would be declared
unclaimed and taken to the treasury of the bank as capital base of
the bank, because already the account has been
tagged dormant because it has exceeded the normal functional number of
years.
We cannot release the funds from his account unless someone
applies for it or lays claim as the next-of-kin to the deceased as
indicated in our banking guidelines. Upon this discovery, I now
seek your permission and assistance to present you and have you
stand as a next of kin to the deceased,so that the funds can be
released and transfer to you, as all documentations will be
carefully worked out by me for it to be released in your
favor as the beneficiary's next of kin, if not the members of the
board of directors will utilise it for their personal
aggrandisement. Because after four years as this is the fifth year
going it will be called back to the bank treasury as unclaimed
bills and 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 rather than allow the bank directors to
share it amongst themselves at the end of the year.
It may interest you to know that I have secured from the probate
commission an order of mandamus to locate any of the deceased
beneficiaries. Please acknowledge receipt of this message in
acceptance of our mutual business endeavour by furnishing me with
the following information if you are interested.
1. A beneficiary name, in order for me to prepare the document for
transfer in your name.
2. Direct Telephone and fax numbers...For our personal contact and
for easy communication between both of us.
Upon your acceptance I shall send you my identity for more
confidentiality and trust in each other as i shall trust you not to
elope at completion.
If this proposal is acceptable by you, please endeavor to contact
me immediately. Do not take undue advantage of the trust I have
bestowed in you, I await your urgent response.
Regards,
Alan Reeves.
