Subject: From Mr Hinds
Dear Friend,
Please accept my sincere apologizes if my email does not meet your
business or personal ethics. I will first introduce myself as Mr Peter
Hinds an auditor with a bank in UK. One of our accounts, with holding
balance of £10.000 000,000 (Ten Million pounds Sterling) has been
dormant and last operated for years ago. From my investigations, the
owner of the said account,Is a foreigner by name MR.JOHN SHUMEJDA who
died along with his entire family in crash at Birmingham Airport on 4th
Jan, 2002. View this website for verification
http://www.cwn.org.uk/business/a-z/a/agco/2002/01/020104-air-crash.htm
Since then, nobody has done anything as regards the claiming of this
money, as he has no family member that has any knowledge as to the
existence of either the account or the funds; I have confidently
discussed this issue with some of the bank officials and we have agreed
to find a reliable foreign partner to deal with.
My proposition to you, is to seek your consent to present you as the
Next of kin and beneficiary of this late client, So that the proceeds
of this account valued a huge sum shall be paid to you, and then we can
share the amount on a mutually agreed percentage of 30% for you,While
60% for me and others involved, 10% shall be used for miscelenious
expenses while the remainder shall be given to a reputable charity home
because the money is owned by a deceased person.
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, funds will be released to you after necessary
processes have been followed. Let me hear from you as soon as you get
this message, so we can proceed.
Best regards,Mr Peter Hinds
