Dearest,
This mail might come to you as a surprise and the temptation to ignore it as unserious could come into your mind; but please consider it a divine wish and accept it with a deep sense of humility. I am Mr. Richard Lawrins, director of operations of a well known Bank here in Ireland .I have an obscured business Proposal for you. 152,000,000 (One Hundred and Fifty Two Million British Pounds).
I am aware that this is certainly an unconventional approach to starting a relationship. But i must assure you that this Business is risk free and does not in any unbeneficial for both of us but will only benefit us, It is all about a customer in our bank who opened an account (with holding balance of 152,000,000 Million British Pounds) with our bank in 2002 and died in 2004 without a written or oral WILL and since 2004 nobody has operated on this account again hence the money is floating, and if I do not remit this money out urgently it will be forfeited for nothing.
The owner of this account is a foreigner and no other person knows about this account or anything concerning it, the account has no other beneficiary and until his death he was the manager of the company. My investigation through the National immigration department and Ministries here proved to me as well that he was single as at the time of his entry into the United Kingdom. As a matter of fact, I have decided to transfer this fund abroad for investment. Your assistance as a foreigner is necessary because the management of the bank will welcome any foreigner who has correct information to this account which I will give to you immediately.
I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money cannot be approved to a local person here due to law in United Kingdom. At the conclusion of this transaction, your total share will be 40% of the total transfer sum, while 60% for me and my partners who is helping in making this successful.
If you are interested, please forward the following information as below:
information as below:
{1} Your Name/company's name and full address,{2} Bank Name:............ ..........{3} Bank Address.....................{4} Account No:......................{5} Swift Code...{if any}{6} Account Holder's Name: ....................{7} Your telephone Number. both Home, Office & Cell/Mobile and fax Numbers.........................{8} Your Occupation..................{9} Your Valid ID ................... On receipt of your response and once I am convinced that you are capable I will furnish you with detailed clarification as it relates to this mutual benefit transaction. You should send me Your account information as states below where you like the money to be transfer so that i can send application for the release of the fund immediately with your account information. Even an empty account is ok.

Mr. Richard Lawrins,
