Subject: Proposal letter for your consideration
Dear Sir/Madam
My name is Mr. Allen Tringle; a branch Manager at Northern Rock Plc, Maddox
Street branch London-United Kingdom. I came across your contact information
on web while searching for investment options overseas. I am an account
officer to one Mr. Morris Thompson a customer in my branch who died in the
year 2000. Mr. Thompson was a consultant in Linton Fuel Oils Ltd London, UK
and has a Fixed Deposit of Three Million United States Dollars
{US$3,000,000.00} with our bank to run for a period of 6 years from 1999 to
2005.
I am contacting you because the fixed deposit has matured but no one to
stand for the claim. For your information, Mr. Thompson left United Kingdom
some years back and did not come back. On my attempts to locate him after
several months, I discovered that he went to Mexico for a vacation with his
wife and daughter and unfortunately lost their life in the plane crash of
Alaska Airlines Flight 261 which crashed on 31st January 2000.
The bank has mandated me as his account officer to provide any of his
relative to stand for the claim within two months since the depositor died
with his wife whom he indicated as his next of kin in the crash. To this
effect, I have decided to link anybody to stand as Mr. Thompson's next of
kin in order to claim this money since it is obvious that the bank did not
know any of his relative. If you accept to stand as Mr. Thompson's next of
kin to claim this inheritance, I am willing to split the funds into two
parts, for each of us having an equal share of One Million, Five Hundred
Thousand United States Dollars (US$1,500,000.00)
However, there is no risk involved in this transaction, as I will give you
all information you may need about Mr. Thompson and his banking relationship
with our bank to enable you stand as his next of kin to receive this money
in your account. Note that next of kin can be friends, business partners,
extended relatives and club mates so nationality cannot be a hindrance
provided you meet with all requirements which only person related to the
deceased could be in possession of.
Once you file for the claim, I will do the rest for you in the inside and
get the fund released in your name. I will also employ a lawyer who will
follow up all the processes on your behalf and shall secure all the
documents that will confirm you true next of kin to late Mr. Thompson.
Already, I have some of the documents because Mr. Thompson requested that he
wants me as the bank manager to be directly responsible for his account and
for that reason, he entrusted most of his banking documents in my care for
safe-keep in our strong room.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that
will protect you from any breach of the law. I shall be coming over to your
country for my share and investment after the successful completion of this
transaction. I am optimistic that we will conclude this transaction within
three weeks upon your compliance in applying for the claim to our head
office. If you are interested and capable, please get back to me through
email. Thanking you in advance for your anticipated co-operation
Sincerely,
Mr. Allen Tringle
