Good day,
Apologies to write you out of the blue like this but something very
important came to our notice and we believe its important we seek your
consent for our mutual interest.
I am Kelvin George, Chief Risk Officer, The Co-operative Bank Plc, former
personal funds manager a late client, of your national. He died recently
along with his wife and only son, while holidaying in Burma. In our last
audit, we discovered a dormant account with GB 28,844,000.00 (Twenty-Eight
Million, Eight Hundred and Forty-Four Thousand British Pounds Sterling
Only) in his name.
During our investigation, we discovered he nominated his son as his next of
kin. All efforts to trace his relatives proved impossible. You Embassy
couldnt trace any of the deceaseds relations. The account has been
dormant since his death, hence we decided to contact you, to seek your
consent to enable us to nominate you as next of kin to the deceased and
transfer the funds to your favour.
With the consent of our late clients solicitor, we shall confirm you as
the next of kin, sole beneficiary to the deposit/funds and authorize funds
transfer to you. After transfer of funds to your favour, you shall retain
65% and 35% ours.
Weve all relevant details about the deceased whilst considering that
youre a distant relative of the deceased and having the same surname,
shall assist us to positively claim the funds successfully without any
retribution whatsoever. Your positive response shall be highly appreciated
to enable us favour you with a draft application / account details of the
deceased for submission to The Co-operative Bank Plc.
Should this business transaction, be of interest to you, and would like to
request of draft application to proceed, please contact me via Email:
[email protected]
Please also contact me if you object to our proposal.
