Subject: Productive partnership
Capital Management Solutions UK
Rosedale Ave. Central London
CONFIDENTIAL - Productive partnership
This is Edward Anderson, chief auditor with Capital Management
Solutions UK. In the course of my auditing, I discovered an unclaimed
redundant fund in an account opened 1999 belonging to a late client
who was involved in an unfortunate air mishap. Every effort
to locate any member of his family or next of kin has since failed;
which is the reason I got in contact with you to stand as his next
of kin and fund beneficiary.
After going through the deceased person's records, it was discovered
that;
(1) No one has operated this account since 2003
(2) Proven he died without an heir therefore account has been dormant.
(3) No other person knows about this money since it was a private
account and no stated known beneficiary.
I am therefore proposing to make you the next of kin and beneficiary
to this account with balance of 5.5M GBP. My intention being you
secretly partner with us providing an account or setting up a new one
to receive this funds. After the transfer, the money will be shared
fifty-fifty between us.
It is worth stating here that should this money stay unclaimed
till August deadline making it five years of redundancy, it would be
forfeited to the government or subverted to private funds benefiting
only undeserving directors of the bank and politicians for war
machinery.
Otherwise this money will lawfully be approved to you as beneficiary
in your chosen name transforming into full ownership. You would be
guided by the account officer (our partner) on how to claim this
redundant fund, since I am working in partnership with this deposit
account officer who happens to be highly placed in the bank and as
in position of every information regarding the account including
operations documentary approval system. This officer will effect
the necessary changeson the account information making you the
legal beneficiary to the fund.
More detailed information of this transaction shall be provided at
your request should you agree to this business proposition also
advicing you treat this business with confidentiality for success.
Expecting your response and best regards
Edward Anderson
