Hello,
I am Mr. Thomas George, the Auditor General, Linkage Management Solutions
Limited UK .
In the course of my auditing, I discovered a floating fund in an account which was opened in 1990
belonging
to a dead foreign mine worker, who died in 1999. Every effort made to track any member of his
family or next
of kin has since failed; hence I got in Contact with you to stand as his next of kin since you
bear the same last
name. He died leaving no heir or a will. My intention is to transfer this sum of $15.5M in the
aforementioned
account to a safe account overseas. I am therefore proposing that you quietly partner with me and
provide an
account or set up a new one that will serve the purpose of receiving this fund. For your assistance
in this
ventureI am ready to part with 30% of the entire funds to you. After going through the deceased
person's
records and files, I discovered that:
(1) No one has operated this account since 1999
(2) He died without an heir; hence the money has been floating.
(3) No other person knows about this account and there was no known beneficiary.
If I do not remit this money urgently,it would be forfeited and subsequently converted to
company's
funds which will benefit only the directors of my firm. This money can be approved to you legally
as with
all the necessary documentary approvals in your name.However, you would be required to show some
proof
of claim which I will provide you with and also guide you on how to make your applications.
Please do give
me a reply so that I can send you detailed information on the modalities of my proposition. I
completely trust
you to keep this Proposition absolutely confidential. Kindly forward your telephone and fax numbers
where I
can reach you easily.
I look forward to your prompt response. Please you can reach on my private email
ttgor4@sify.com
Best Regards,
Mr. Thomas George
