Board Member,
Royal Bank of Scotland RBS ,
London United Kingdom.
Attention ,
I have a proposal for you, this however is not mandatory nor will I in any manner compel you to honour against your will. I am 46, and work with the above bank. Here in this bank existed a dormant account for the past 8 years which belong to a Egyptian national who is late Abdou Elzanaty and his wife Fawkia Abed Raboh Elzanaty how died on EgyptAir Flight 990 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/502503.stm
When I discovered that there had been no deposits nor withdrawals from this account for this long period, I decided to carry out a system investigation and discovered that non of the family member nor relations of the late person is aware of this account. This is the story in a nutshell. Now I want an account overseas where the bank will transfer this funds.Thereafter, I had planned to destroy all related documents for this account. It is a careful network and for the past eleven months I have worked out everything to ensure a hitch-free operation. The amount is not so much at the moment and plus all the accumulated interest the balance in this account stands at £19,200,000.00 (Nineteen Million Two Hundred Thousand GB Pound).
Now my questions are:-
1. Can you handle this project?
2. Can I give you this trust?
3. What will be your commission? If you can sponsor this transfer.
4. Your direct phone / fax number if available
Consider this and get back at me as soon as possible. Finally, it is my humble prayer that the information as contained herein be accorded the necessary attention, urgency as well as the secrecy it deserves. I Expect your urgent response if you can handle this project.
Respectfully yours,
Mr. Ben Dike
