From: "Jeffrey Williams" <jeffreywilliams@johnmellencamp.com>

Subject: Urgent Business Proposal
--
Dear Friend,
My name is Mr. Jeffrey Williams. I trained and work as an external
auditor for the United Overseas Bank (UOB) of London, working as part of a
bigger team that covers the entire England. I had taken pains to find
your contact through personal endeavors.
On routine audit check last month, I discovered some investment
accounts that had been dormant for the last twelve years. All the accounts
belong to a single holder with money totaling a little above $13.6
million United States Dollars plus interest.Banking regulation/
legislation in London demand that I notify the fiscal authorities after a
statutory time period of twelve years when dormant accounts of this type
are called in by the monetary regulatory bodies.
The above set of facts underscores my reason of writing and making the
following proposal. My investigations of the said account reveals that
the investor (a Saudi Arabian) died in 1993 the exact time the account
was last operated. I can confirm with certainty that the said investor
died intestate and no next of kin to his estate has been found or has
come forward all these years. I am of the settled conviction that using
my insider leverage, I, working with you can secure the funds in the
account for us instead of allowing it pass as unclaimed funds into the
coffers of the Government of United Kingdom. This is especially possible
as you bear the same LAST NAME to the said investor.
This exactly is why I crave your participation and co-operation.I have
eized all levant documents (legal and Banking) that will facilitate our
putting you forward as the imant/ beneficiary of the funds and
ultimately transfer the money to any account nominated by you. Of
course you shall be handsomely rewarded for your part in this transaction as
the people I am working with are prepared to allocate a 20% slice of
the total funds for your efforts. I shall however leave out the finer
details of this transaction till I receive an affirmation of your desire
to participate.
Be assured that my colleagues and I are on top of the situation all the
time and there will be no risk whatsoever if you agree to come on
board. Needless to say, UTMOST CONFIDENTIALITY is of vital importance if we
are to successfully reap the immense benefits of this transaction. To
maintain the level of security required to see this transaction come to
a successful conclusion, I have intentionally left out the final
details.
To affirm your willingness and cooperation to my proposal please do so
by email stating your FULL NAME, DATE OF BIRTH, TELEPHONE NUMBER, FAX NUMBER
, EMAIL ADDRESS and POSTAL ADDRESS. via my confidential e-mail
address: mrjeffreywilliams@myway.com
I do expect your prompt response.
Thanks,
Jeffrey Williams.
