Occupations: External Auditor
Hello,
Do accept my sincere apologies if my mail does not meet your personal ethics
although, I wish to use this medium to get in touch with you first because
it's fastest means.
I am an external auditor of a well known bank here in the United Kingdom. In
one of our peroidic auditing I discorverd a dormant accounts with holding
balance of 52,000,000 (Fifty Two Million British Pounds) which has not been
operated for the past three years. From my investigations and confirmations,
the owner of this account, a oreigner by name Mr.Gregory .B.Wilson died in
plane crash in July 19,2003 and since then nobody has done anything as
regards the claiming of this money because he has no family members who are
aware of the existence of neither the account nor the funds.
I have secretly discussed this matter with a top senior minister official of
the federal ministry of finance here and we have agreed to find a reliable
foreign partner to deal with us although due to his possition he did not
want to take active part but as soon as you follow my instructions
everything will be successfull because we will be woking hand in hand with
him. We thus propose to do business with you, standing in as the next of kin
of these funds from the deceased and after due legal processes have been
followed the fund will be released to your account without delay and we will
use it for investment and to assist the less privelaged in the society
because if we left the fund with the government it will be fortified for
nothing and will be used to suppress the poor masses in the society.
This transaction is totally free of risk and troubles as the fund is
legitimate and does not originate from drug, money laundry, terrorism or any
other illegal act.Finally, I will give you 35% for your coporation, 5% will
be for expenses both parties might have incurred during this process. On
receipt of your response I will furnish you with detailed clarification as
it relates to this mutual benefit transaction.
You should send me Your account information as states below where you like
the money to be transfer so that i can send application for the release of
the fund immediatelly with your account information.Even an empty account is
ok.
Bank Name..............
Bank Address...........
Beneficiary Name.......
Account Number.........
Swift Code.............
Your Tel/Fax Number....
Routing Number.........
State & Country........
I look forward to hear from you as soon as possible if you are interested.
Regards,
Mr. Douglas Sheneman.
