Hello,
I want to formally introduce myself to you as Mr. Paul Williams, a
banker. I would respectfully request that you keep the contents of this
mail confidential and also respect the integrity of the information that
you are coming across as a result of this mail. I contacted you
privately and as such that no one is aware of this communication thus
the reason why I had us communicate strictly via our private email.
I am the personal relationship manager to a foreign contractor who works
in the Oil and Gas industries. He also has an investment dollars account
with our bank. Unfortunately, my client died along with his family in
France while on sabbatical in the summer of 2008, may their soul rest in
peace. He died without leaving a Will. Several efforts were made to find
his extended family through his embassy without success. I received a
notice last week to provide the next of kin to the deceased as his
personal accountant or the funds will face the risk of being transferred
to the government (escheat) in 14 days time. I am contacting you to
assist me in transferring the funds left behind by the deceased to your
account as the appointed Next of Kin.
This claim will be executed without breaching any UK laws and the
success is guaranteed if we co-operate on this. Our bank will release
the account to you because of my recommendation of you as the next of
kin. The deceased client left a deposit of $27.4 Million with the bank
before his demise (Death). After going through your contact profiles, I
discovered that you bear the same surname/last name with the deceased in
his files. If you accept to assist me and workout this deal with me, I
will give you all the necessary information about this deal when I get
your response.
Kindly, treat this proposal with utmost confidentially as I assure you
with 100% success and be rest assured that this transaction would be
profitable for both of us as we shall share the funds 50%/50%. For more
information get back to me through my private email contact address at
(Email: [email protected] ) with your full name, telephone number
and profession for more communication.
Your anticipate cooperation is highly needed.
Regards,
Mr. Paul Williams.
