Dear Friend,

PRIVATE AND URGENT

I am Mr. Martin Debruyne and I am contacting you on business transfer of a huge sum of money from a deceased account. Though I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make anyone apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you that all will be well at the end of the day. I decided to contact you due to the urgency of this transaction.



PROPOSITION


I am the account officer to ALBERT RIZK (deceased) one of our foreign customers. While he banked with us, I oversaw his accounts and other official/financial obligations as my office demanded being his accounts officer. Unfortunately, he died along with his entire family in the plane crash alongside other passengers, which details will be given to you upon your response. While he was alive, none of his family members was ever known to me other than his immediate nuclear family. Since his death, none of his next-of-kin or relations has come forward to lay claims to this money as the heir.

I cannot release the fund from his account unless someone applies for claim as the next-of-kin to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines. Having made a very frantic and exhaustive search for any family member that would lay claim to this fund, I decided to take my chance with you. Now I seek your permission to have you stand as next of kin to the deceased as I have all documentation including his certified Death Certificate that will facilitate your stand as next of kin to him as he had a closing balanced of US$15.5 Million (Fifteen Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars only) here in our bank .

I also have secured from the probate an order of mandamus to locate any member of deceased family to become beneficiary of this fund. Please acknowledge receipt of this message in acceptance of our mutual business Endeavor by furnishing me with the following:

1. Beneficiary name and address

2. Direct Telephone and email

These requirements will enable me make some internal re-adjustments and file your name in all the forms and other vital documents as next of kin which before now was left blank by the deceased upon opening of the account Ten years ago. Upon your reply, I will advise the way forward. I must assure you that if you are serious and follow my lead religiously, then these funds will be released to you within a seven working-day period. If this proposal is acceptable by you, do not take undue advantage of the trust I have bestowed in you, I await your urgent reply.


Regards,


MR. MARTIN DEBRUYNE
