Subject: From Scott whalberg
Dear Friend,
Happy New Year to you; As I write this email, I strongly and humbly crave
your indulgence in sending you this email and should it not meet your
business or personal ethics, please accept my apologies in advance. My name
is Scott Whalberg, I work with the Lloyds Tsb Bank with registered office
here in London, England.
It's an honor to write this letter to solicit your support and assistance to
carry out a project in one of our numerous branches where an in-active
account of the sum Thirty Million United States Dollars belonging to a
foreign customer by name Dr. Michael Woods is currently liquidated.
Unfortunately, Dr. Michael Woods died with his wife and two kids in a
ghastly car crash while on vacation in the Caribbean.
Since he died the Bank has laid claims for his next of kin to approach our
bank for necessary actions in respect to funds claiming.Sadly, after
investigations we found out that the Late Mr. Michael Woods has no surviving
relatives based on my true findings; Hence I have decided to transact
this business with you, alongside the concerned officials here in the bank.
You will stand in as the next of kin to the late Dr. Michael Woods, and then
the money will be released to you, after all due processes have been
followed. Obviously we do not want this money to go back into the Bank
Treasury because the banking law, reforms and guideline stipulates that if
such an existing amount remains unclaimed for a period of Five years the
money will be reverted into the Banks Treasury as an unclaimed debt, as we
do not want this to happen, hence I contacted you.
For your participation in this transaction, 20% of the funds will be tagged
yours, 75% will be ours, while 5% will be for any expenses incurred during
the transaction.
I can be reached at the above electronic mail address, of course if you’re
willing to transact this business with me.
Best Regards,
Scott Whalberg.
