Good day,
This letter might surprise you because we have met neither in person nor by correspondence. But I believe it is one day that you got to know someone either physical or through correspondence. I'm Mr. Joe Carrick. a staff in the Private Clients Section of a well-known bank, here in London, England.
One of our accounts, with holding balance of £13,000,000 (thirteen Million Pounds Sterling) has been dormant and last operated three years ago. From my investigations and confirmation, the owner of the said account, a foreigner by name John Shumejda died on the 4th of January 2002 in a plane crash in Birmingham; you can view this CNN website
http://edition.cnn.com/2002/WORLD/europe/01/04/england.plane/
for details on the crash.
Since then, nobody has done anything as regards the claiming of this money, as he has no family member that has any knowledge as to the existence of either the account or the funds; and also Information from the National Immigration also states that he was single on entry into the UK.
I have confidently discussed this issue with some of the bank officials and we have agreed to find a reliable foreign partner to deal with. We therefore propose to do business with you, standing in as the next of kin of these funds from the deceased and funds released to you after necessary processes have been followed.
At the conclusion of the transfer, 65% of the fund will be for me, I will give you 20% of the total transfer sum, 10% for charity while the remaining 5% will be set aside to settle expenses both parties might incur during the transfer process.
This transaction is totally free of risk and troubles as the fund is legitimate and does not originate from drug, money laundry, terrorism or any other illegal act.
On your interest, let me hear from you.
Warm Regards,
Mr. Joe Carrick.
