Dear Sir/Madam,
I am Mr. Michael Lopez Manager of Philippine National Bank Plc. London, On June 6, 2000, Mr. Daniel Ramesh made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for forty-eight months, (being four years) valued at US$3,800,000.00, (Three Million, Eight Hundred Dollars) in my branch officer.
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 employers, that Mr. Mr. Daniel Ramesh died from tsunami on his holidays in Thailand 26 December 2004. On further investigation, I found out that he died without making a WILL and all attempts to trace his Next of Kin were fruitless.
I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr. Daniel Ramesh did not declare any KIN or relations in all his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of US$3,800,000.00. I am soliciting you to stand in as his Next of Kin because according to British Law, at the expiration of (three) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the British Government if nobody applies to claim the fund.
Consequently, I am writing you because I as a public servant (working with the bank), I cannot operate a foreign account or have an account that is more than $1m. So, I want to present you as his Next of Kin to the fund and to enable us proceed I want you to provide to me immediately with all this information below so that an Attorney here in London will prepare the necessary document which will put you in place as the Next of Kin to the fund.
YOUR COMPLETE NAME
YOUR PHYSICAL ADDRESS
YOUR PRIVATE TELEPHONE NUMBERS
YOUR PROFESSION
YOUR AGE
As soon as I receive this above mentioned information I will employed an attorney to procure an affidavit in your name and address showing you as the Next of Kin to the fund. After this, your will be required to come to London to sign all the documents of the funds. But a situation whereby you cannot come to London to sign, you will have to arrange with the attorney to go and sign on your behalf.
Most importantly, this fund will be 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 this will guarantees the successful execution of this transaction.
Please observe utmost confidentiality, and rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require your assistance to invest my share in (Buying of properties like houses, hotels and doing charity works etc)
Awaiting your urgent reply via is email vincenon02@yahoo.com.hk
Best regards,
Mr. Michael Lopez.
