Subject: very urgent !!!
Attention: Sir. /Madam,
I am an investment consultant working with Central Bank of West
African States at their department in Senegal. I am happy to contact
you regarding your over due inheritance fund; I need strong assurance
that you will never let me down, if I work with you in transferring
this fund to your account? Because i discovered this large sum of
money with the bank which is a tax free zone, a place where plenty of
rich people tend to hide away funds not ready to be used or
invested.if you are capable to keep TOP SECRET.
During one of our periodic auditing I discovered a dormant accounts
with holding balance of US$32,000.000.00 {Thirty two million US
Dollars only} Sometimes a person will open a bank account, deposit
money, and then disappear into the tin air. Banks are not always able
to find out what has become of these silent customers, or to know
whether they should follow up on requests from people who claim to be
heirs to the accounts. The main problem is that the customer resides
abroad and, due to bank secrecy, the bank cannot publish notices in
the international press to locate the depositaries. This has led the
majority of Swiss banks to refrain from opening small-deposit accounts
for foreign customers; for fear that they will forget that the account
exists.
Presently until we have agreed to deal. I trust you will understand
the need for such pre-cautions. So far, valuable efforts has been made
to get to his people but to no avail, as he had no known relatives
more because he left his next of kin column in his account opening
forms blank and he has no known relative. Due to this development the
bank has come forward to ask us as his personal consultant to bring
forward a close relative to claim the funds otherwise as the Nigeria
national laws would have it, any dormant account for five years will
be declared unclaimed and then paid into the government purse.
To avert this negative development the bank and I have decided to
look for a reputable person to act as the next of kin to late Dr.
Vinod. So that the funds could be processed and released into his or
her account, which is where you come in. my law firm will also act as
your personal attorneys since we will be portraying you as being
directly related to our late client being from the same country.
All legal documents to aid your claim for this fund and to prove your
relationship with the deceased will be provided by us.
Your help will be appreciated with 50% of the total sum which I would
disclose while 40% for me and 10% will be map out for any meccilanous
expenses which might occur Please accept my apologies, keep my
confidence and disregard this letter if you do not appreciate this
proposition I have offered you and if you are ready to do this wiTH
me, forward as stated below so that i can inject your name as the heir
apparent:
Full Name:…………………..
Residential Address:………………
Contact Phone number:…………….
Occupation:……………………
I wait anxiously for your response.
