Subject: Good Day, McVee
Hello MCVEE.
I decided to write you this message. I have been in search of someone with
this last name " MCVEE " who is trustworthy and reliable. I am contacting
you to see how best we can assist each other believing you are the right
person for me.
I am Mr. Abdullah Majid, a Bank Officer here in U.A.E. I believe it is the
will of God for me to come across you now. I have a business proposal to
share with you. which I believe will interest you because it is in
connection with your last name " MCVEE " and you are going to benefit
from it.
One Late MR. PORTER MCVEE, a citizen of your country had a fixed deposit
with my bank in 2005 valued at US$20,000,000.00 (Twenty Million United
State Dollars) the due date for this deposit contract was last 22nd of
January 2017. Sadly MR. PORTER was among the death victims on May 27, 2006,
Earthquake disaster in Java, Indonesia that killed over 5,000 people. He
was in Indonesia on a business trip and that was how he met his end. My
bank management is yet to know about his death, I knew about it because he
was my friend and I am his account officer. MR. PORTER did not mention any
Next of Kin/ Heir when the account was opened, and he was not married and
had no children. Last week my Bank Management requested that MR. PORTER
should give instructions on what to do about his funds if to renew the
contract. I know this will happen and that is why I have been looking for a
means to handle the situation, because if my Bank Directors happen to know
that MR. PORTER is dead and does not have any Heir, they will take the
funds for their personal use, so I don' t want such to happen.
That was why when I saw your last name I was happy and I am now seeking
your co-operation to present you as Next of Kin/ Heir to the account since
you have the same last name with him and my bank headquarters will release
the account to you. There is no risk involved; the transaction will be
executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any
breach of law. It is better that we claim the money than allowing the Bank
Directors to take it, they are rich already. I am not a greedy person, so I
am suggesting we share the funds equally, 50/50% to both parties, my share
will assist me to start my own company which has been my dream. Let me know
your mind on this and please do treat this information as TOP SECRET. We
shall go over the details once I receive your urgent response.
Have a nice day and God bless. Anticipating your communication.
Regards,
Abdullah Majid.
