Hello Dear,
I must solicit your Confidentiality and assure you that I am contacting you
in good faith and this proposal will be of mutual benefit for us. I am Mr
Frank Robinson, I have a business proposal in the tune of
£230,000.000.00-[Two Hundred & Thirty Million British Pounds Sterling} to be
transferred to any safe account with your assistance. I seek your consent to
present you as the next of kin of the deceased since I have every
possibility & the advantages for the proceeds of this account to be paid to
you and then both of us can share the money, 60% to me and 40% to you. Can I
trust you on this?
I guarantee that this will be executed under a concrete special arrangement
that will protect you from any breach of law. I will not fail to bring to
your notice that this transaction is hitch-free and you should not entertain
any fears as the required arrangements have been made for the completion of
this transfer. This money was secretly placed/deposited for an Investment
before the late holder died and none of his families or relatives knows
about this money, so it's discovered during an annual audition. If you can
be trusted and capable to handle this business with me in full confidence &
