Mr. Hammelton Dan
Dear Sir.
I got your contact email address through a personal research and
decided to let you know about this packaged financial transaction that will benefit us.In the Audting department , we discovered an abandoned sum of £26.5millionBritish Pounds Sterling (Twenty Six million five hundred thousand British Pounds) in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customers Late Mr.Martin Cole an American who unfortunately lost his life in the plane crash of Alaska Airlines Flight 261 which crashed on January 31 2000, including his wife and only daughter.
Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his
next of kin or relatves to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines. Unfortunately I learnt that his supposed next of kin being his only daughter died along with him in the plane crash leaving nobody with the knowledge of this fund behind for the claim. It is therefore upon this discovery that I and two other officials in this department now decided to make business with you and release the money to you as the next of kin or beneficiary of the funds for safety keeping and subsequent disbursement( with every documents) since nobody is coming for it
and we don't want this money to go back into Government treasury as
unclaimed bill.
The banking law and guidelines here stipulates that such money remained
after a particular period of time, the money will be transferred into
banking treasury as unclaimed funds.We agreed that 30% of this money
will be for you as foreign partner, while the balance will be for me and my colleagues. I will visit your country for the disbursement according to the percentages indicated above once this money gets into your account. Please be honest to me and trust is our watchword in this transaction.this transaction is confidential and risk free.
If you are ready to work with us ,I shall urgently send to you a complete detail information of our bank accredited attorney here which you have to contact to stand on your behalf here as your local attorney,which I shall educate to you on what to tell him.
Best regards,
Mr.Hammelton Dan
