Greetings,
I apologize if the contents hereunder are contrary to your moral ethics. But please treat with absolute secrecy and personal. I discovered a dormant account in my office, as Group finance director with Imperial Bank of London It will be in my interest to transfer this fund worth Thirty Six Million United state dollars. ($36,000,000) in an account offshore.
If you can be a collaborator/partner to this please indicate interest immediately for us to proceed. Remember this is absolutely confidential, as I am seeking your assistance as the beneficiary of this unclaimed fund since we are not allowed to operate a foreign account.
Your contact phone numbers and name will be necessary for this effect, I have reposed my confidence in you and hope that you will not disappoint me. We shall share the fund on the bases of 50% each at the end of the deal.My RegardsChristian Victor
