Subject: hello my good friend
Do accept my sincere apologies if my mail does not meet
your personal ethics.I introduce myself as Samson Anderson
a staff in the accounts management Section of a well-known bank here in the
United Kingdom.
One of our accounts with holding balance of
£15,000,000(Fifteen Million British Pounds) has been dormant and last
operated in
the past 5 years.from my investigations and confirmations, the owner of this
account is a
Foreigner by name Gerald Stone died on the 4th of
January 2002 on a planecrash in Birmingham here in UK.
Since then nobody has done anything as regards the
claiming of this moneyas he has no family Member who is
aware of the existence of either the account nor the
Funds.Information from the National Immigration also
states that he was single on entry into the UK.
I have confidentially discussed this issue with some of
the bank officials
and we have agreed to find a reliable foreign partner
to deal with. We thus propose to do business with you,
standing in as the next of kin of the deceased and
have the funds released to you after due processes have
been followed.
This transaction is totally free of risk and troubles
as the fund is Legitimateand does not originate from
drug, money laundry, terrorism or any otherIllegal act.
On your interest, let me hear from you.
Regards,
Samson Anderson
