Dear Friend,
May the good tides of the lord be with you
My name is David Richard, I Worked in a bank
in the United Kingdom.(UK)
I am contacting you for a business transaction
Of a huge sum of money from a deceased client of mine.
Though I know that a transaction of this magnitude
Will make any one apprehensive and worried,
But I am assuring you that everything has been
taken care of, and all will be well at the
end of the day. I decided to contact you due to
the urgency of this transaction.
FACT:
I was the account officer of a foreigner named
Bernard Poirier who died in an air crash along
With his wife Noreauluce Poirier on the 31st
October 1999 in an Egyptian airline 990 with
other passengers on board(May their soul rest in
peace).
You can confirm this from the website below which
was published by CNN.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/world/americas/502503.stm
Since his death,no one has come to lay claims
to his estate as his heir.The bank will not
Release the funds from his account unless
Someone applied for claim as the
next-of-kin/beneficiary to the deceased.
After five years the fund
Was called back to the bank treasury as
Unclaimed bills and the money shared amongst
the directors of the bank, which has already
been done by the directors mid 2004
At that period he had $14,210,045m (Fourteen
Million two hundred and ten thousand dollars)
in his account.
PROPOSITION:
Due to the relationship between me and the deceased
(Bernard Poirier) he told me of a diamond business
Which he had to do and left me in care of
the CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSITwhich he
Used to lodge some funds in a Security
firm this is to the tune of $8.4m
(Eight million four Hundred thousand dollars).
Note: that I decided to seek for whom his/her
name shall be used as the Next of kin/beneficiary
to claim the funds at the security firm rather
than allow the funds to lay unclaimed.
It may interest you to know that I have secured
from the probate a WRIT OF MANDAMUS to Locate
any of the deceased beneficiaries again; no
One was found. Please acknowledge the receipt
Of this message in acceptance of our mutual
business endeavour by furnishing me with the
Following informations if you are interested.
1. Full name in order for me to prepare the
Document in your name.

Personal Contact and mutual Trust in each other.

Project for my assistance.This i Shall use for
investment purposes because I just retired.If this
Proposal is acceptable by you, please endeavor to
contact me Immediately.Do not take undue advantage of
the trust I have bestowed on you.
I await your urgent mail.
Stay blessed,
Regards,
David Richard.
