Dear Friend,
I am Mr. Nicole Elliott the Foreign Exchange Department of Mizuho Corporate
Bank One Friday Street London EC4M 9JA, UK.
I have urgent and very confidential business proposition for you. On
September 4,2001, Mr. Werner Karl Ruddigkeit,a National of German, who used
to be a private contractor with the Shell Petroleum Development Company in
Saudi Arabia Mr. Werner Karl Ruddigkeit Made a numbered time (Fixed
deposit) for 36 calendar months, valued at GBP£30,000,000.00 (Thirty Million
Pounds only) in my branch.
Upon maturity in 2004, 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 contract employers, Shell Petroleum Development Company
in Saudi Arabia that Mr. Werner Karl Ruddigkeit And his wife with their
three children were involved in an auto crash, all occupants of the vehicle
unfortunately lost their lives.
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
furtherinvestigation and discovered that Mr. Werner Karl Ruddigkeit. Did not
declare any next of kin or relations in all his official documents,
including his
Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of GBP£30.000, 000.00 have been
floating as unclaimed since 2001 in my bank as all efforts to get his
relatives have hit the stones. According to the British law at the
expiration of 5 (FIVE) years, the Money will revert to the ownership of the
British Government if nobody applies to claim the fund and the FIVE years is
the end of JUNE 2007.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 2 years
now,I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin / Will Beneficiary
to the deceased so that the proceeds of this account valued at
GBP£30,000,000.00 can be paid to you. This will be disbursed or shared in
these percentages, 60% to me and 40% to you.
I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any claim
we may make. All I require is your honest Co-operation, Confidentiality and
Trust to enable us see this transaction through. I guarantee you that this
will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from
any breach of the law. Please provide me with the following:
1. Full Name
2. Your Telephone Number and Fax Number
3. Your Contact Address
4.Age
Your urgent response will be highly anticipated and appreciated.
Best regards,
Mr. Nicole Elliott
