Dear Sir/Madam,

This email must come to you as a surprise, but I believe that it takes just a contact for people to meet and become great friends and business partners. This is a personal and private letter directed to you and I request that it be treated as such.

My name is Richard Billings, a Retiree. I was the personal Financial Advisor to the late Eng. Johan Meyer, an American hereafter referred to as 'My late Client'. He was a successful Businessman here in The United Kingdom but died in a car crash along with his immediate family on the 25th of May 2000. Shortly after his death I was directed by his bank to locate any of his extended relatives whom shall be claimant / beneficiary of his fixed deposit account with the bank valued at £7.5 Million Great Britain Pounds (Approximately 12 Million US Dollars). I tried but all such efforts were to no avail. I also sought the assistance of the Embassy of the United States here in London in locating any of his relatives without any success.

Last week, I received information from a reliable source that a proceeding for confiscation of this fund by the Government in line with existing laws will be initiated if no Next of Kin cames forward to claim the fund by 25th of May 2010. On this note and considering the amount of fund involved, I decided to urgently search for a credible and trustworthy Foreigner to partner with in diverting this fund. Do note that I will be there to guide you every step of the way. I propose that the total fund will be shared 50/50 between you and me at the conclusion of this deal.

To commence the process of claim/transfer of this fund to your designated bank account, you need firstly signify your interest by contacting me via e-mail, and then I will furnish you with complete details on gaining your confidence. Rest assured that this proposal is Risk-free as all procedure will be legally followed. I also have original copies of the deposit documents needed to add credence to the claim. They were entrusted with me by the late Johan Meyer days after making the fixed deposit, so you need not entertain any fears. Do note that successful transfer of the Fund to your nominated account can be achieved within 14 Banking days of signifying your interest. Like I said, I require only a solemn confidentiality on this. Please, include your Private and confidential Phone number (preferably Mobile) in your reply.

Best regards,

Richard J. Billings
