Subject: Compliments of the day.
Attn Sir, Compliments of the day. First of all, let me start by
introducing myself. My name is Mr. Charles Williams, the Auditor
General of Royal Bank of Scotland here in London. I have an urgent and
very confidential business proposition for you. I am the accounting
officer of Mr. Ken Lay, Enron founder, who deid on July, 5th 2006, at
the age of 64. It will interest you to know that on Wednesday, 12th
May 2004, Mr. Ken Lay deposited a total sum of 21.5M pounds in our
Bank. The funds was deposited into a non-existing companys account
which I opened with (ROYAL BANK OF SCOTLAND) under his instructions,
to avoid raising an eyebrow but unfortunately for him and fortunately
to me, the man is dead leaving nobody to trace or even locate the
funds. You can read more about his death by visiting the below
websites:
Right now, we have the sum of 21.5M Pounds lying in the account
without any proof of ownership as it was opened with non-existing
companies name and the bank is not aware of the real beneficiary as
the account did not bear any name. As his accounting officer and
financial adviser in charge of the account, I can comfortable present
you to the Bank as the real beneficiary of the funds and the Bank have
no right to deny the application. The agreement with the Bank was that
the funds will be there for 10 years which expired since May last
year. Consequently, my proposal is that I want to seek your consent as
a foreigner to stand as the owner of the fund, since it has no trace
or beneficiary which makes it easier to transfer to your designated
bank account as the beneficiary. The nature of my work as a staff of
the Bank will not allow me lay claim on the funds, hence this proposal
to you and be informed that as long as you are ready to cooperate and
be truthful to me, I can assure you that the sky will be our limit.
All documents and proves to enable you get the money will be carefully
worked out and more so, I assure you that the business is risk free,
as everything will be handled in accordance with the International
Monetary Guidelines. I am offering you 40% for your cooperation in
achieving this aim. My lawyer is willing to assist us in getting the
necessary legal papers to back up the claim. Please, if you are
interested in working with me, I will like you to send the below
informations to enable me procure the necessary documents in your
favor: 1. YOUR FULL NAMES 2. HOUSE ADDRESS. 3. AGE, SEX AND MARITAL
STATUS. 4. OCCUPATION. 5. NATIONALITY. 6. TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBERS
FOR EASY COMMUNICATIONS. As soon as I receive your acceptance mail by
forwarding the above informations, I will prepare the paper works in
your name for onward remittance of the funds into your designated
account. Lastly, I want you to understand that this transaction
requires trust, honest and above all, utmost confidentiality, to avoid
escalating. Please reply through my private email address: (
[email protected] ). Anticipating to hear from you soon.
Regards. Mr. Charles Williams, The Auditor General, Royal Bank of
Scotland.
