*MR. Timkim Buck
BANK EXECUTIVE OFFICER
LONDON ¨C UK . *

My Dear Friend,
I found your contact during my official visit to your country last week and
decided to reach you secretly to solicit for your co-operation. I believe
that you are a reliable, trustworthy* *and honest person to introduce this
inheritance project to. My name is Timkim Buck and I work in a Bank here in
London . I am a British citizen with two kids. I am writing to solicit your
assistance in the noble transfer of 9,500,000.00 British Pounds ( NINE
MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND BRITISH *
*POUNDS STERLING ONLY). *
*This fund was a Maximum Return Capital investment ( MRCI ) of one of our
investors who died almost NINE years ago without a next of kin to inherit
his money. The policy of my bank is that any account that remains dormant
for TEN years should be closed hence I want to move this money into your
account before the deceased account is closed next year. Based on this
policy therefore, I have since last three years placed this amount (
9,500.000.00 British Pounds (Nine Million Five hundred Thousand British
Pounds) in a FIX ACCOUNT without a beneficiary. As an officer of the bank,
I cannot directly transfer this money out of my bank on my PERSONAL NAME
hence I am requesting for your assistance to receive this money into your
bank account. **Please note that you can open a fresh and new bank account
for this transaction if you do not want to use your old bank account.*
*There is practically no risk involved in this transaction because I am
totally in control and in charge **and** secondly I was the account officer
to this account when the investor was alive**.** It is going to be a
bank-to-bank transfer to your nominated bank account in any country of your
choice in case you do not want this money to be transferred to your bank
account in your country. If you are interested, please indicate your
interest so that I will give you details of my bank and we will also
discuss how you and me will share this money ( 9,500.000.00 British
Pounds ) . Please do not expose this deal because it is totally a secret
between you and me. I will appreciate your timely response.
Yours Sincerely,
Timkim Buck.*
