Subject: Get back to me
Dear Partner,
My name is Mr john foundy I am the auditor and head of computing department
of a bank here in London, United kingdom.There is an account opened in this
bank in 1997 and since my inception into office in 2002,nobody has operated
on this account. I have the courage to look for a reliable and honest person
who will be capable for this important transaction. In order to transfer out
(Fifteen Million Pounds Sterling) after going through some old files, I
discovered that if I do not remit this money out urgently,it will be
forfeited for nothing. Though this transaction will cost us some money to
finalize,but my attorney was able to contact a very capable and reliable
investor who has promised to render financial assist to us through you, if
you have a HOME EQUITY LINE OF CREDIT ACCOUNT. If you do, you will be
required to respond to this message urgently to enable us forge ahead. Which
30% will be for you while 65% will be for me and my attorney and 5% will be
for the expenses that will be made by the both party. I will forward more
information to you upon your urgent response
also i will want you to send me your direct phone and fax number
were you can be reached at all time.
Thanks Sincerely,
john foundy
