Dear Friend
My name is Mr. Gary Frederick; I am the credit
manager of Natwest Bank Ltd here in the Unit
Kingdom. I am contacting you of a business transfer,
of a huge sum of money from a deceased account.
Though I know that a transaction of this magnitude
will make any one apprehensive and worried, but I am
assuring you that everything has been taken care
off, and all will be well at the end of the day. I
decided to contact you due to the urgency of this
transaction.
PROPOSITION:
I am the account officer of a foreigner named Jean
Gandesbery and her Husband Robert Gandesbery who
died in an air crash along with his wife on the
January 31 in an Alaska airline Flight 261 with
other passengers on board. You can confirm this from
the website below which was published by
CNN.WEBSITE.http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/
Since his death, none of his next-of-kin is alive to
make claims for this money as his heir, because they
all died in the same accident himself and his wife
(May their soul rest in peace). We cannot release
the fund from his account unless someone applies for
claim as the next-of-kin to the deceased as
indicated in our banking guidelines.
Upon this discovery, I now seek your permission to
have you stand as a next of kin to the deceased, as
all documentations will be carefully worked out by
me for the funds (US$15,300,000,00) to be released
in your favor as the beneficiary's next of kin.
Because after four years the money will be called
back to the bank Treasury as unclaimed bills and the
money shared amongst the directors of the bank. So
it is on this note I decided to seek for whom his
name shall be used as the next of kin/beneficiary to
this funds rather than allow the bank directors to
share this money amongst them at the end of the
year.
It may interest you to know that we have secured
from the probate an order of mandamus to locate any
of the deceased beneficiaries.
Please acknowledge receipt of this message in
acceptance of our mutual Business endeavor by
furnishing me with the following information if you
are interested.
1.A Beneficiary name. In order for me to prepare the
document for transfer of the funds in your name.
2. Direct Telephone and fax numbers. For our
personal contact and mutual trust in each other.
I shall be compensating you with Four million
dollars ($4,000,000,00) on final conclusion of this
project for your assistance, while the balance
$11,300,000 dollars shall be for me for investment
purposes. Because I intend to retire after the
conclusion of this transaction.
If this proposal is acceptable by you, please
endeavor to contact me immediately. Do not take
undue advantage of the trust I have bestowed In you,
I await your urgent response.
Regards,
Mr Gary Frederick
Natwest Bank PLC
