Subject: Transfer Of Funds
Earl RoadCheadle HulmeSK8 6QG CheadleP.O. Box 4United KingdomRE-TRANSFER OF £62,654,000.00 {Sixty Two Million Six Hundred and Fifty Four Thousand British Pounds Sterling}
Good day.
I am aware that this is certainly an unconventional approach to starting a relationship. I am Mr. Greg James, the personal account officer to the great late diseased who has an account in one of the top banks here in London, United Kingdom. The account was opened in 2002 and he died in 2004 without a written or oral WILL and since 2004 nobody has operated on this account again hence the money is floating, and if I do not remit this money out urgently it will be forfeited for nothing, and Government of United Kingdom will confiscate the funds for their personal use which I personally don't want such incident to happen being that this is a great opportunity in my life.My contact is for you to please assist me to transfer the fund {£62,654,000.00} from a Cooperate Bank here in UK to an oversea account. First, I must solicit your strictest confidence in this transaction. This is by virtue of its nature as being utterly confidential. I am sure and have confidence of your ability and reliability to prosecute a transaction of this great magnitude. I solicit your assistance to enable us transfer the said amount into your safe account for onward investment.You can either provide us with an existing account or to set up a new Bank account immediately to receive this money, even an empty a/c can serve to receive this money, as long as you will remain honest to me till the end of this important business, trusting in you and believing in God that you will never let me down in future because this business is my life.The owner of this account is a foreigner and no other person knows about this account or anything concerning it, the account has no other beneficiary and until his death he was the manager of the company. My investigation through the National immigration department and Ministries here proved to me as well that he was single as at the time of his entry into the United Kingdom. As a matter of fact, I have decided to transfer this fund abroad for investment. Your assistance as a foreigner is necessary because the management of the bank will welcome any foreigner who has correct information to this account which I will give to you immediately, We will start the first transfer with Forty Million {£40,000,000.00}.Upon successful transfer without any disappointment from your side, we shall re-apply for the payment of the remaining balance of {£22, 654,000.00} Million to your account. I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money cannot be approved to a local person here due to law in United Kingdom.Best Regards,Mr. Greg James.
