Subject: AWAITS THE NEEDED INFORMATION.
Hello, Please let me introduce my self to you: I am Mrs. Margaret Harvey, I work with a U.K based security & investment corporation / Stock exchange name withheld for security reasons as I have to get your reply of confidence and sense of confidentiality first, where I manage private clients’ accounts, assets and Shares. As a matter of fact, I have been in charge of this Stock duty for 12 years now.My motive for writing this mail to you after buying your e-mail address on white page.com is to inform you of Shares belonging to Mr. Dave Hanson who had been my American client for as long as I have been with this investment corporation.His value of Shares after my recent auditing, evaluation and calculation holds the sum of 2,564,234.00 ( Two Million Five Hundred & Sixty Four Thousand Two Hundred & Thirty Four British Pounds). The truth now is that Mr. Dave Hanson is late. He died in an auto-crash in a gashtly auto-accident with his Toyota Land Cruiser Black Jeep along Station Parade Cockfosters Road, Barnet, London on Saturday the 16th of December 2006 and I have monitored his Shares with us for eight months now after his death and no one has come up for a claim till date since my client left his Next Of Kin column blank as one who had a single on entry visa into London as a divorcee with the intention of filling in the name of his new wife to be as the Next Of Kin when he re-marry which he never accomplished before his untimely death which is why no one has knowledge of the Shares he bought except us at the Stock exchange audits and accounts. Hence, the need to get in touch with you to grant you this very important golden opportunity as one whom I can present to stand in as the Next Of Kin in claiming the Shares left behind by my late client before they get confiscated or declared unpayable, as it's stipulated under section 24 of our Code Of Bureau that if such Shares remain unclaimed after the death of the holder, it will be forfeited to the Bank Treasury as an unclaimed Shares.To this end, I have decided to find a reliable & honest partner to do the transaction with and present the person to the Stock Finance Controller as (The Next Of Kin) beneficiary to the benefactor, so that the Shares will be claimed, traded and funds released to you in your nominated account for sharing after due processes have been followed as my position as the account officer in-charge of the client guarantees the successful execution of this transaction and also guarantees a legitimate arrangement that will protect us from any breach of the Law, as the funds used to purchase all the Shares came with my client's proper statements of accounts and as such all the needed legalities are properly protected.All I require of you is your Honest co-operation to enable this financial deal go through as you have absolutely nothing to lose in assisting me, instead you have so much to GAIN financially while being rest assured that this transaction would be most financially profitable as I have discussed this matter with our Stock Finance Controller who is not even aware at all that I have in my possession, all the account information and securities' details of the Shares belonging to my late client including the insurance code, security login along side other vital documents which my client gave to me for safe-keeping when he was alive as he had complete confidence and total trust on me as one who doubles as his finance adviser and account officer.Please be informed that on smooth conclusion of this transaction the proceeds of the money value of the Shares valued at 2,564,234.00 ( Two Million Five Hundred & Sixty Four Thousand Two Hundred & Thirty Four British Pounds) will be shared as follows: 60% for me while 40% to you. Be rest assured that I have all the necessary legal financial share holding documents that can be used to backup all the financial claims we will make to get the Shares and all the benefits in your name as the Next Of Kin as all I need of you is your Honest co-operation to enable this financial deal go through.Please provide:
{1} YOUR FULL NAMES:{2} DATE OF BIRTH:..........................................{3} OCCUPATION:.............................................{4} CONTACT ADDRESS:..................................{5} CONTACT PHONE NUMBER:....................... Please note that this deal is meant to be handled with most confidentiality and highest sense of secrecy as I will give you all the necessary supports and contact information details of the Stock Finance Controller for immediate contact once I get your reply with all the required information for immediate arrangements, release and sales of the Shares in your name as the Next Of Kin as all the operational and administrative financial activities are directed and controlled by the Finance Controller who is the full time Chief Executive Finance Director of the Exchange.NOTE: To avoid the event of multiple claims arising from any unsolicited claimant taking advantage of this golden opportunity this financial deal is meant to be highly confidential and secretive between you & me only. I await your honest reply with the required information as I'm an honest person and really appreciate doing things with honest people in good faith.Sincerely Yours,Yours Faithfully,Mrs. Margaret Harvey
