Subject: Good Business Proposal
I am Miguel Antonio Perez, the manager bills and exchange at the
foreign remittance department of a bank here in Spain. I have a
business proposal which i believe that will be a very good opportunity
for both of us so I decided to contact you on this business
opportunity in our bank. The proposal is that i discovered an
abandoned sum of 57.5m US dollars (Fifty Seven Million Five Hundred
Thousand United States Dollars) in our safety deposit vault that
belongs to one of our foreign Customer, who died along with his entire
family on 11th March 2004 in a ghastly train explosion in Atocha,
Madrid-Spain. Since we got information about his death, we have been
expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because the
management cannot release it unless somebody applies for it as next of
kin to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines,
unfortunately I learnt that all his Family died alongside with him in
the train explosion leaving nobody behind for the claim. I want us to
do this transaction together since I have the entire secret
informations of this deposit which will help you to claim this money
as the next of kin. Though, I acknowledge you may not be anyway
related to my late client, but taking into account that you both have
a common surname is a positive factor as it can be considered a common
genealogy. I can guarantee that we stand a great chance of success if
you follow my instructions and directives. It is therefore upon this
discovery that I decided to make this business proposal to you and
release the money to you as the next of kin to the deceased since
nobody is coming for it and I dont want this money to go into the
banks treasury as unclaimed funds or declared to the Government of
Spain, once this is done the Government of Spain will confiscate the
funds, which is not good for both of us. I agreed that 40 % of this
money will be for you as a foreign partner, in respect to your
acceptance to do this business with me, while 60% would be for me and
my family. Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to
your account as arranged, you must apply first to the bank as the next
of kin of the deceased indicating your interest of claim of your
inherited funds, upon receipt of your reply through my e-mail, I will
send to you by fax or e-mail the text of the application which you
will send to the bank. I will not fail to bring to your notice that
this transaction is a hitch free that you should not entertain any
atom of fear as all required arrangements have been made perfectly. At
this moment you should feel free to contact me through my e-mail as
soon as you receive this mail. You should understand that this should
be kept very confidential, let it be between both of us only. This is
the only way we can achieve success. I will level the whole
arrangement here in the bank for the transfer to be approved
immediately as soon as you get back to me. Thanks and God Bless. Best
regards, Miguel Antonio Perez
