Please pardon me, as I am aware that this is not a conventional way of
relaying an important massage such as this. I did try without success
to locate either your contact address or fax number and as such, I
resorted in contacting you via email
My name is Julian Duke, I work with Bristol and West Bank here in
London where i manage Private investments, as a matter of fact, i have been
in charge if this duty for 12 years now. My motive for writing this
mail to you is to inform you of an account belonging to Mr. PAUL MILES.
Who has been a client for as long as i have been with Bristol and West
Bank.
Mr. PAUL MILES. IS late, and i have monitored his account for 4 years
now, yet no one has come up for a claim till date. Also as a result of
this, i carried out an investigation where i discovered that he left his
next of kin column blank on his mandate form.
Hence this gave the need to contact you to assist in repatriating the
money left behind by my client before it is confiscated or declared
unserviceable by the bank where this deposit valued at £7.3 million Pounds
Sterling is lodged. More so, there is a government gazette
/mandate/authorizing all banks to freeze or confiscate any account that has not
been serviceable in a long period of time, this is geared towards capital
flight for the economy.
My proposition to you is to seek your consent to present you as the
next-of-kin and beneficiary of my named client, so that the proceeds of
this account can be paid to you. Then we can share the amount on a
mutually agreed-upon percentage. All legal documents required to back up your
claim, as my client's next-of-kin will be provided. I guarantee that
this will be executed under a legitimate Arrangement that will protect
you from any breach of the Law, as the funds did not originate from drug
money or terrorism, but through inheritance.
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this
transaction through. If this business proposition offends your moral values, do
accept my apology but if not, then contact me at once to indicate your
interest, By giving me your telephone number, fax number and your
address so that I too can contact you.
Kindly send your response.
Best regards,
Julian Duke
