Subject: MAIL ME URGENTLY
From Paul Daniel,
Compliments,
RE: TRANSFER OF 9.559 MILLION GBP TO YOUR ACCOUNT
I sincerely ask for forgiveness for I know this may seem like a complete intrusion to your privacy but right about now this is my option of communication. This mail might come to you as a surprise and the temptation to ignore it as unserious could come into your mind; but please consider it a divine wish and accept it with a deep sense of humility. I am aware that this is certainly an unconventional approach to starting a relationship.
I want to make a proposal of business transaction which value sum is £9,559,000 GBP (Nine Million, Five Hundred and Fifty Nine Thousand British Pounds Sterling) to you, of which I believe, will be of much interest to you and also a mutual benefit for both of us.
My name is Paul Daniel, UK attorney. My late client, a great INDUSTRALIST died leaving behind a large sum of money to the tune of Nine Million Five Hundred and Fifty Nine Thousand Great Britain Pounds Sterling {9,559,000.00 GBP} I contacted you because the fund will be returned to the government treasury if it remain un-claimed.
As his lawyer here in United Kingdom, I have all the needed documents to make this a success. With my position, I will secure the documents that will show that he WILLED the above mentioned financial estate to you and transfer it to your account, else the bank will confiscate the funds due to the fact that up till now, I cannot get a hold of anyone related to the deceased.
At the successful transfer of the fund to your account, you will take 40% of the total sum while 60% will be for me.
Finally, I must assure you that this transaction is 100% risk and trouble free. Should my proposal offend you or contradict your moral ethics, I apologize. I need your co-operation to transfer the above mentioned sum out of England to any of your secured bank account. And I am confident that you will give your consideration to this proposal and response positively within a short period of time. I am available to discuss this proposal with you and to answer any questions you may have in regard to this fund.
On receipt of a positive response from you, I will not hesitate in sending you the details and procedures of the transaction.
Regards,
Mr. Paul Daniel
