Subject: It's about your name.
Hi, how are you and your family? I am pleased to contact you and determine
how best we can assist each other. I am working with a savings company here
in Ipoh, Perak of Malaysia as the manager of the warehouse department and I
have this business I wish to share with you as I believe it will interest
you, because it is in connection with your name and you will benefit from
it.
A citizen of your country deposited a consignment of One Million, Six
Hundred and Fifty Thousand United States Dollars, with the company I am
working with in 2016 for 36 calendar months, and the due date for the
deposit contract is 17th of July 2019. Sadly, he died in a car accident in
Japan. He was in Japan on a business trip where he met his end. The company
headquarter boss does not know about his death. I knew about it because he
was my friend and i was the officer in charge of his consignment at the
time he made the deposit. He did not mention a beneficiary. He was not
married and had no children. Last week our company headquarter boss
requested that I should get instructions from him about his consignment, if
he wants to renew the contract or not?
I anticipated that this would happen so that is why I started looking for a
means to handle this situation. If our company headquarter boss finds out
your depositor is dead and does not have a beneficiary, he will take the
consignment for himself. I do not want this to happen. When I saw your
name, I was pleased. I am seeking your co-operation to name you as
beneficiary to the consignment; since you have the same last name with the
deceased, our company headquarter will deliver the consignment to you. If
you claim this consignment, the company boss will not be allowed take it. I
am not a greedy person, so I want us to share as follows: you will take 50%
and I will take 50% after the company headquarters delivers the money to
you. My share will assist me in starting my own company, which I have been
dreaming about for a long time. I am looking forward to your response. Best
regards, Damia.
