Subject: VERY IMPORTANT PLEASE
Good day Friend,
My name is Mr Roger Thompson I am a retired banker of Unity Trust Bank of
London.
I do not want problems but I just hope you can assist me, I write you this
letter in good faith, I have a transaction of one million seven hundred
thousand dollars: ($1,700,000.00). I realized this fund from bank excess
profit after trading with the capital sum and I deposited the funds in
escrow call account. Where nobody will have access to it. Even the bank
does not have access to this account because it cannot be deducted, until
after the transfer.
Finally I did not declare this fund to the bank before my retirement. I am
contacting you, to stand as the beneficiary of this fund because only a
foreigner can stand as the beneficiary. Can I trust you to hold this money
for me until I come over to your country? After the transfer, I will give
you 30% of the money as your commission.
If you accept my offer, but if you do not accept this offer kindly forget
that I contacted you, all I need is for you to get a good current account
where this fund can be transferred into and for you to stand as the
beneficiary of the said amount, within three days the funds will be
transferred to your designated bank account.
There are practically no risks involved, it will be a bank-to-bank
transfer. I hope you understand my situation, I am critically ill that is
why I contacted you to finalize this transaction to enable me have a very
good medical treatment.
It will be my pleasure doing business with you,
My regards,
Mr Roger Thompson
