Subject: WAITING TO HEAR FROM YOU
From Mr. P E. Tommy
Re:Transaction of $26,100,000.00 US Dollars.
I am P E. Tommy, I work as the accredited solicitor with First Trust
Security Ltd an Investment & Fund Management Institution based in Liverpool
United Kingdom.
I have an investor under my portfolio with a deposit savings of
$26.100,000.00 USD as his first initial deposit. This investor his wife and
kids died Five
years ago leaving no WILL or AUTHORISATION for Re-transfer of his investment
and its proceeds to the INHERITOR.
Fervent efforts was made by First Trust Security Ltd to locate his
next-of-kin or either his foreign partner or representative as stated in the
internal memo on the deposit bond agreement signed by the depositor and the
firm without success.
Since I was his appionted attorney, a letter was sent to me to provide his
next of kin or foreign partner/Representative hence the name was witheld,
which I
tried but proved to no avail.
I have personally carried out an investigation on the subject matter and was
made to understand that the relatives of the investor knows nothing about
his
investment with the firm and none have any records of this deposit and
investment with First Trust Security Ltd , there by creating an avenue for
claiming of
the said funds on presentation of a trustworthy person that can stand as the
INHERITOR or partner/Representativ to the deceased.
If you are interested i can present you as the INHERITOR with proper
documentation that will qualify you to have the funds claimed, and on doing
this they
will not question the release of the funds to you as i will make sure that
we comply with the banking laws and ethics of claiming the investment, I am
assuring you of your personality risk free.
All I required in pure heart is a partner to work with and achieve this
transaction. Hence I can not do this alone, i deem it better dealing with an
external
person to enable the transaction lay covered after a successfuly execusion.
Pertaining the disbursement of the 26.1million us dollars, I am willing to
let you have 49% of the total sum,while the 51% will be for me.
I expect your respond when i hear from you we can talk for more
understanding as this matter require an aurgent follow up. Please your
earliest respond will be highly appreciated.
Sincerely.
Tommy
