We are unfamiliar with each other but it takes a moment for people to know. I will like to propose a legitimate business to you and please take this seriously. I am proposing a deal that will make us richer and you are very important to this deal as you will find out.
I am a first-level manager with BNY Mellon Wealth Management . I have worked here for a little over 13 years now and I was the personal manager to a client whom I cannot disclose his name on this first correspondence. He was a foreign contractor with Royal Dutch plc who has an investment account with my bank before his demise.
Unfortunately, my client died along with his immediate family in Norway while on a vacation in the summer of 2007, may their soul rest in peace. He died without leaving a will. Several efforts were made to find his extended family through their embassy without success. I received a notice last week to provide the next of kin to my late client being his manager as the account risks been transferred to the state reserves very soon which means total forfeiture of the account proceeds. I am contacting you to assist me in claiming and repatriating the funds left behind by my late client since you both share the same last name.
This claim will be executed without breaching any US laws and success is guaranteed if there is co-operation between us. The bank will release the account to you because of your last name and my recommendation of you as the next of kin.
I am a very honest person; I expect the same from you. We will get to know each other properly at the right time and I am ready to share my personal details with you if need be. The amount involved is $47,206,183.00 USD.
We will negotiate on the sharing formula of the account proceeds on a later correspondence. I will give you all the necessary information about this deal when I get your response. I anticipate your cooperation. Treat this proposal with utmost confidentially and urgency for a 100% success. If you are not interested please delete this mail.
Kind Regards
Steve Ampey
