Subject: VERY URGENT MESSAGES..........
VERY URGENT MESSAGES.......... Hello Dear, I know that This letter might surprise you because, we have not met neither in person nor by correspondence. But I believe it is one day that you get know somebody either in physical or through correspondence, I found it interesting, and decided to contact you for a business transaction. Be so kind to contact me at your earliest-convenient for a possible business deal involving money transfer of about £52,000,000 (Fifty Two Million British Pounds). I am presently in London working as an investment consultant with the Scotland Bank at their offshore department located at the Isle Of Man. With your sincere assistant and co-operation, I have secretly discussed this matter with the bank manager here and we have agreed to find a reliable foreign partner to deal with us although due to his possition he did not want to take active part but as soon as you follow my instructions everything will be successfull because we will be woking hand in hand with him. We thus propose to do business with you, standing in as the next of kin of these funds from the deceased and after due legel processes have been followed the fund will be released to your account without deley and we will use it for investment and to assist the less privelaged in the society because if we left the fund with the government it will be fortified for nothing and will be used to suppress the poor masses in the society. This transaction is totally free of risk and troubles as the fund is legitimate and does not originate from drug, money laundry, terrorism or any other illegal act.Finally, I will give you 35% for your coporation, 5% will be for expenses both parties might have incurred during this process. On receipt of your response I will furnish you with detailed clarification as it relates to this mutual benefit transaction. I look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible if you are interested. Best regards,Mr.Amos Tower.Chief investment Consultant,Dept.Of Offshore Mortgage Services,Bank Of Scotland Int'l Ltd,Box.19,Bank Of Scotland House
