Subject: Can I confide in you please?
Dear Sir,
I came across your identity and contact in my desperate quest to
successfully locate the next of kin to an account file forwarded to my
desk for liquidation. I am Dr. Stanley Biko , I work with the legal
department of a local financial institution. My job here is to see
that any unclaimed account is certified and confirmed UNCLAIMED before
final liquidation instruction is passed on any such account file.
With the above explanation of my responsibility in carrying out my
duty, it became very important that I make contact with you because an
account currently valued at USD 85.5 Million (Eighty five million,
Five hundred Thousand US Dollars) was forwarded to my office for final
search of next of kin to the deceased account holder file, the account
in question was last operated in April 2005 and by law is due for
liquidation.
I have tried to locate the next of kin to this account all to no
avail. In my quest to locate such person, I came across your identity.
Coincidentally you bear similarity with the identity of account holder
and this is the major reason why I have contacted you. I have been
mandated to certify the next of kin to this account before the
liquidation within thirty official working days, Therefore I seize
this opportunity to make a confidential proposal to you as follows: –
We both work together on this file; I will use my official capacity
to front you as the next of kin to this account file. files relating
to this account will be amended to suit this claim as soon as you have
agreed to work with me. Please kindly respond to this letter via my
private Email address for further clarification : I also want to
guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate framework that
will protect you from any breach of the Law here and in your country.
I will await your positive response to this mail as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
Dr. Stanley Biko.
