Subject: From Daniel Jones (Urgent)
Hello,
I wish to inform you that this letter is not a hoax mail and I urge
you to treat it serious. We want to transfer to overseas
account($30,000.000.00 USD) Thirty million United States Dollars) from
a prime Bank here in London. I want to ask you, If you are not capable
to quietly look for a reliable and honest person who will be capable
and fit to provide either an existing bank account or to set up a new
Bank a/c immediately to receive this money, even an empty a/c can
serve to receive this money, as long as you will remain honest to me
till the end for this important business trusting in you and believing
in God that you will never let me down either now or in the future.
I am Mr. Daniel Jones, presently promoted to Auditor General in one
of the banks here in London. During the course of our auditing last
week, I discovered a floating fund in an account opened in the bank in
2000 and since 2004 nobody has operated on this account again, after
going through some old files in the records I discovered that the
owner of the account died without a [Heir/WILL] hence the money is
floating and if I do not remit this money out urgently it will be
forfeited for nothing.
The owner of this account is an American and a great industrialist
and a resident of Alaska State, who unfortunately lost his life in the
plane, crash of Alaska Airlines Flight 261 which crashed on January 31
2003, including his wife and only daughter leaving nobody to claim the
money . No other person knows about this account or any thing
concerning it, the account has no other beneficiary and my
investigation proved to me as well that the account is a secret
account. The total amount involved is Thirty million United States
Dollars only[$30,000.000.00] and we wish to transfer this money into a
safe foreigners account abroad. But I don't know any foreigner; I am
only contacting you as a foreigner because this money cannot be
approved to a local person here, but to a foreigner who has
information about the account, which I shall give to you upon your
positive response.
I am revealing this to you with believe in God that you will never
let me down in this business, you are the first and the only person
that I am contacting for this business, so please reply urgently so
that I will inform you the next step to take urgently. I need your
strong assurance that you will never let us down, me and a key bank
official who is deeply involved with me in this business. I guarantee
you that this transaction will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law The bank
official will destroy all documents of the transaction immediately you
receive this money leaving no trace to any place.
I will use my position and influence to obtain all legal approvals
for onward transfer of this money to your account with appropriate
clearance from the relevant ministries and foreign exchange
departments. At the conclusion of this business, you will be given 50%
of the total amount,50% will be for us.
PLEASE,TREAT THIS PROPOSAL AS TOP SECRET.
I look forward to your earliest reply.
Best Regards
Daniel Jones
