Occupations: External Auditor
Hello,
Do accept my
sincere apologies if my mail does not meet your personal ethics
although, I wish to use this medium to get in touch with you first
because it's fastest means. I am an external auditor of a well known
bank here in the United Kingdom.
In one of our peroidic auditing I
discorverd a dormant accounts with holding balance of 52,000,000 (Fifty
Two Million British Pounds) which has not been operated for the past
three years. From my investigations and confirmations, the owner of
this account, a oreigner by name Mr.Gregory .B.Wilson died in plane
crash in July 19,2003 and since then nobody has done anything as
regards the claiming of this money because he has no family members who
are aware of the existence of neither the account nor the funds.
I
have secretly discussed this matter with a top senior minister official
of the federal ministry of finance here and we have agreed to find a
reliable foreign partner to deal with us although due to his possition
he did not want to take active part but as soon as you follow my
instructions everything will be successfull because we will be woking
hand in hand with him. We thus propose to do business with you,
standing in as the next of kin of these funds from the deceased and
after due legal processes have been followed the fund will be released
to your account without delay and we will use it for investment and to
assist the less privelaged in the society because if we left the fund
with the government it will be fortified for nothing and will be used
to suppress the poor masses in the society.
This transaction is
totally free of risk and troubles as the fund is legitimate and does
not originate from drug, money laundry, terrorism or any other illegal
act.Finally, I will give you 35% for your coporation, 5% will be for
expenses both parties might have incurred during this process. On
receipt of your response I will furnish you with detailed clarification
as it relates to this mutual benefit transaction.
You should send me
Your account information as states below where you like the money to be
transfer so that i can send application for the release of the fund
immediatelly with your account information.Even an empty account is ok.
