Subject: Dear Sir/Madam,
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am Mr. Edward Michael, the Auditor General, All Standard Securities
Limited. In the course of my auditing, I discovered a floating fund in
an account which was opened in 1990 belonging to a dead foreigner Late
Mr. George Adams a national of your country. I decided to track his
last name over the Internet to locate any member of his family all to no
avail; hence I got in contacted you.
I want to move the sum of $18.5M from All Standard Securities Limited In his
account to abroad. I am therefore write to ask you that you quietly partner with
me and providing an account or setting up a new one that will serve the purpose of receiving this
fund. Even an empty account can also serve as long as there will be honesty to me till the end of
the deal and I hope you will never let me down. After going through
George's records and files, I discovered that:
(1) No one has operated this account since 1993;
(2) He died without an heir; hence the money has been floating.
(3) No other person knows about this account and there was no known beneficiary, AND IF I DO NOT
REMIT THIS MONEY URGENTLY, IT WOULD BEFORFEITED FOR NOTHING.
Hence I am contacting you. I will require your urgent reply so that I Give you the
next step. Kindly forward your telephone and fax numbers, I am ready to give you the sum of
$7,500,000 ($7.5M) for your assistance and partnering with me. I look forward to your prompt.
