Dear Friend,
I am Mr Son Abel Accounts supervisor with standard Bank plc London. I
have urgent and very confidential business proposition for you. On
June 6, 1999, a Foreign Diamond consultant/contractor with the London
Diamond Corporation, Mr.Elliod Andy made a numbered time (Fixed)
Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at SD$22,000,000.00,
(Twenty-two Million Dollars) in my branch.Upon maturity, I sent a
routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After
a month, I sent a reminder and finally I discovered from his contract
employers, the London Diamond Corporation that Mr. Mr.Elliod Andy died
from a rebel attack. On further investigation, I found out that he
died without
making a WILL, and all attempts to trace his next of kin was
fruitless.
I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr.
Mr.Elliod Andy did not declare any kin or relations in all his
official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank.
This sum of USD$22,000,000.00 has carefully/confidentially been moved
out of my bank to a private organization in Europe for safekeeping. No
one can ever come forward to claim it. According to London Law, at the
expiration of 8 (eight) years,the money will revert to the
ownership of the London Government if nobody applies to claim the
fund. Consequently, my proposal is that I want you as a Foreigner to
stand in as the rightful owner of the money. I deposited it in a
private organization in trunk box though the private organization does
not know the contents of the box as I tagged them to be photographic
materials for export. In the circumstance, I want to present you as
the rightful owner of the boxes in the private organization so
that you can be able to claim them with the help of my attorney. This
is simple.I would like you to provide immediately your full names and
address as well as your direct telephone and fax number so that the
Attorney will prepare the necessary documents which will put you in
the right place as the owner of the box. The money will be moved out
for us to your country and share in the ratio of 80% for me and 20%
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 on your behalf, please
reply immediately via my email address. Upon your response, I shall
then provide you with more details and relevant documents that will
help you understand the transaction and swing into the necessary
action while I confide in you hoping you will not betray me at last.
For security reason please reply me through my private email address
as follow
Thanks and God bless
Mr.Son Abel
