Dear friend,
How are you doing today?
I am a senior staff of Smith & Williamson Private Bank
United Kingdom, and a member of the vetting and
probing panel on inheritance.
I contacted you in search of a partner who can
assist me in recieving funds as a next of kin to a
deceased client of my bank. I have studied this funds
for over a year now which is in the tune of Thirty
million united states dollars,
and i need a honest and trustworthy partner who can
handle the release of the inheritance.
The deceased client from all indication and
investigations conducted by the bank showed that
the deceased client did not provide a next of kin.
This venture is risk free and will be completed in 14
working days. I am willing to use my position here at
the bank to the maximum to ensure the release of this
inheritance.Also i will provide the necessary
logistics to give us a legal backing and i am offering
a share of 50% of the inheritance if you assist in
securing the release of the funds.
Kindly provide me with your full names, private
telephone and fax numbers so i can furnish you with
the necessary detail towards the actualisation of this
venture for us both.
I will also advise that you keep this personal as possible.
I await your positve response.
Augustine Howard
