GOOD-DAY
I am Goodluck Obi Esq, my client is one of the top
Managers of Midland Bank London Branch and his
colleague in the same bank here in the United Kingdom
have an urgent and very confidential business
proposition for you. On June 6th, 2001, a Chinese business man, Mr. CHOW LIU, deposited in his personal safety deposit vault
currency valued at 17,500,000.00 (Seventeen Million,
Five Hundred Thousand British Pound Sterling) in my
client's branch.
Upon expiration of the period of leasehold of his
safety deposit vault Two years ago, my client sent a
routine notification to his forwarding address but got
no reply. Some months ago, a reminder was sent and finally it was discovered he had passed away. On further investigation, it was discovered that he did not leave a WILL and all attempts to trace his
next of kin were fruitless. Further investigations revealed that Mr. CHOW LIU did not declare any next-of- kin in all his official documents in my clients' bank.
This sum of 17,500,000.00 is still in the Vault which
was opened and the keys changed upon the expiration of
the period of leasehold by my clients.
Consequently, my proposal is that my clients will like
you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to
Mr. CHOW LIU. This is simple. I will like you to
provide me immediately with your full names and
address so that by virtue of my position as an
attorney, I will prepare the necessary documents and
affidavits, which will put you in place as the next of
kin.
I shall do the drafting and notarization of the WILL
and obtain the necessary documents and letter of
probate/administration in your favor for the shipment
of the funds through a security company to you. The
money will be shipped by courier to you for us to
share in the ratio of 80% for me and my clients and
20% for you. I hope that is okay.
There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this
transaction will be done by me as an attorney and the
position of my client as the Branch Manager guarantees
the successful execution of this transaction. If you
are interested, please reply immediately via email. If
on the other hand you are not interested please
disregard this mail and I will not contact you again.
Upon your response, I shall then provide you with my
phone number, more details of the transaction and the
relevant documents that will help you understand.
Please observe utmost confidentiality and be rest
assured that this transaction would be most profitable
for all of us.
Best regards,
Goodluck Obi Esq.
