Subject: KINDLY ASSIST.
MR. JAMES C. CLARY
BARCLAYS BANK PLC,
LONDON, EC1N 8DN.
UNITED KINGDOM.
It is my pleasure to contact you after satisfactory appraisal and acceptance of your proven track records.
I am James C. Clary, Director, Head of Portfolio Management, Barclays Bank Plc, London, United Kingdom. I am writing following an opportunity in my office that will be of immense benefit to both of us. On January 11th 2000, a Munchengladbach prominent businessman and head of a chain of furniture stores, late Mr. Werner Tellman, deposited 13,000,000GBP (Thirteen Million British Pounds Sterling) under our portfolio management department for a period of Two (2) years, and the deposit matured on the 18th of February 2002 with over 100% growth which amounted to a total of 26,400,000GBP (Twenty Six Million, Four Hundred Thousand British Pounds Sterling).
Upon maturity, a routine notification was sent to his forwarding address all to no avail. Several attempts were made to contact him but without responses. After a month, another reminder was sent to him from my desk and evidently I discovered from his contract employers that Mr. Werner Tellman died in the plane crash of Air France Concorde flight 4590 which crashed on July 25th 2000. On further indebt investigation, I discovered that he died with his wife and entire family, as all efforts to trace members of his neither family nor relatives proved futile. You shall read more about the crash on visiting the following site. Http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm , http://www.brothermichael.com/departed/concorde.html
Mr. Werner Tellman, has long passed away and since his death none of his next-of-kin or relations has come forward to lay claims for this money as the heir. He died without identifying with anybody about these funds, which has since matured and the roll-over on the funds also expired. This sum of 26,400,000GBP (Twenty Six Million, Four Hundred Thousand British Pounds Sterling) is still in my possession in my bank lifeless and unnoticed because there will never be a claim on the funds. All material, immaterial documents and certificates relating to the funds is also in my possession.
Against this backdrop, I am proposing to you to stand in as the next of kin to Late Mr. Werner Tellman. The banking law and guidelines here stipulates that at the expiration of nine (9) years such funds will be transferred into banking treasury as unclaimed funds. The money will be approved into your account and subsequently, we shall share in the ratio: 65% for us and 35% for you as gratification for assistance rendered. I will visit your country for the disbursement, according to the percentages indicated above once this money gets into your account.
Let me crave your indulgence in portraying sincerity towards this matter, as trust stands to be our watchword in this transaction. Our assurance is that your role is risk free to accord this transaction the legality it deserves as with all modalities in place we are certain in actualizing a hitch free transfer of the funds without any impediments. My position with my bank already guarantees the swift execution of this project. We will discuss much in details when I do receive your response. Kindly signify your willingness to assist by sending me a message for further procedures relating to this transaction.
Kind regards,
Mr. James C. Clary.
