Dear Friend,
I am Mr. Pascal Dufrasne, Branch Manager of BNP
Paribas Singapore, Private Bank, 20 Collyer Quay
Tung Centre Singapore 049319. I have a
proposition for you.
An american Oil consultant/contractor with the
Singapore Solid Minerals Corporation, {Mr.Glenn . B.
Hatleberg} made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit
for twelve calendar months, valued at
US$15,750,000.00(Fifteen Million, Seven Hundred
and Fifty Thousand Dollars) in my branch. Upon
maturity, I sent a routine notification to his
forwarding address but got no reply. After a month,
we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from
his contract employees,the Singapore Solid Minerals
Corporation that Mr.Glenn . B. Hatleberg died in a
plane crash along with his wife, Barbara Hatleberg
in febuary 2000.
On further investigation, I found out that he died
without making a WILL, and all attempts to trace his
next of kin have been fruitless as Mr.Glenn . B.
Hatleberg did not declare any kin or relations in all
his official documents, including his Bank Deposit
paper work in my Bank.
This sum of US$15,750,000.00 is still sitting in my
Bank and the interest is being rolled over with the
principal sum at the end of each year. No one will
ever come forward to claim it. According to Laws of
Singapore, at the expiration of 6 (six) years which
is this year, the money will revert to the ownership
of the Government if nobody applies to claim the fund.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a
foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to Mr.Glenn .
B. Hatleberg so that the fruits of this old man's
labor will not get into the hands of some corrupt
government officials. This is simple, I will like you
to provide immediately your full names and address so
that the attorney will prepare the necessary documents
and affidavits that will put you in place as the next
of kin.
We shall employ the services of an attorney for
drafting and notarization of the WILL and to obtain
the necessary documents in your favor for the
transfer. A bank account in any part of the world that
you will provide will then facilitate the transfer of
this money to you as the beneficiary/next of kin. The
money will be paid into your account for us to share
in the ratio of 60% for me and 40% for you.
There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this
transaction will be done by the attorney and my
position as the Branch Manager guarantees the
successful execution of this transaction. If you are
interested, please reply immediately via the private
email address below. Upon your response, I shall then
provide you with more details and relevant documents
to prove the authenticity and this will help you
understand the transaction more.
Please send me your confidential telephone and fax
numbers for easy communication. Please observe utmost
confidentiality, and be rest assured that this
transaction would be most profitable for both of us
because I shall require your assistance to invest my
share in your country, reply me via E-mail Address:
mrpascala@yahoo.com
Best Regards,
Mr. Pascal Dufrasne
