From Mr Deni William
Auditing and Account manager
Lippo Bank Jakarta Indonesia
Attention:
Lippo Bank Jakarta Indonesia Attention: I am a staff of Lippo Bank Jakarta.
I am writing following an opportunity in my office that will be of benefit
to both of us. In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of $7.5
million,(Seven Million five hundred thousand Us Dollars)in an account that
belongs to one of our foreign customers Late Mr. Hall Harris an Dutch who
unfortunately lost his life in the Tsunami disaster in Indonesia
2002.,including his wife and Two of his daughters. Since we got information
about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin or relatives to come
over and claim his money because we cannot release it unless somebody
applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in
our banking laws and guild lines.
Unfortunately I leant that his supposed next of kin being his two daughters
died along with him in the Tsunami disaster leaving nobody with the
knowledge of this fund behind for the claim. It is therefore upon this
discovery that I now decided to make the deal with you and transfer this
money to you as the next of kin or beneficiary of the funds for safety
keeping and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and we
don't want this money to go back into Bank treasury as unclaimed bill.
The banking law and guidelines here stipulates that such money remained
after five years the money will be transferred into banking treasury as
unclaimed funds. We agreed that 47.5% of this money will be for you as
foreign partner,5% will be use to upset expenses that might in cure on the
course of making this transaction a successful one, while 47.5% will be for
me. Please note that all necessary arrangement for the smooth release of
these funds to you has been finalized. I will discuss more in details when I
do receive your response. You can reach me in my private email:

Best regards,
Mr. Deni William
