FROM THE DESK OF MR.CHRIS BARHOLET.
BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER,
METROPIOLITAN BOND AND FINANCE CO.LTD LONDON.
48 Moorfields, London EC2Y 9AL.
DEAR SIR ,
I am the manager of bill and exchange at the auditing of METROPIOLITAN
BOND AND FINANCE CO.LTD. in England.
In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of 27.5 Pound sterling
(Twenty-Seven Million-five hundred thousand Pounds sterling) in an
account thatbelongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with
his entire family on Monday, 31 July, 2000 in a plane crash in paris.
Please to confirm my story about the crash you can visit thissite:http:
//news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm Since we got information
about his death, we have beenexpecting his next of kin to come over and
claim his money because we cannot release it unless some body applies
for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our
financial guidelines and laws but unfortunately we learnt that all his
supposed
next of kin or relation died alongside with him at the plane crash
leaving nobody behind for the claim. It is therefore upon this
discovery that I now decided to make this business proposal to you and
release the money to you as the next of kin or relation to the deceased
for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it
and we don't want this money to go into the bank treasury as unclaimed
bill. The banking and financial law and guide line here stipulates that
if such money remained unclaimed afterSEVEN years, the money will be
transfered into the bank treasury as unclaimed fund. The request of
foreigner as next of kin in this business is occassioned by the fact
that the customer was a foreigner and a national here cannot stand as
next ofkin to a foreigner.
I agree that 40% of this money will be for you as a respect to the
provision of a foriegn account ,10% will be set aside for expenses
incurred during thebusiness and 50% would be for me Thereafter, I will
visit your country for disbursement according to thepercentage
indicated Therefore, to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to
your country ,you must apply first to our security firm here in
Londonbecause of financial laws guiding this country,we have moved the
money in question to our Security CompanyVault here in London for easy
transfer of this fund to any where in the world.So i will like you to
send to
me your NAME,TELEPHONE NUMBER and PHYSICAL ADDRESS for easy and
effective communication and location where inthe money is bound to.Upon
receipt of your reply, I will get back to you on the next moves to
make.
I will not fail to bring to your notice that thistransaction is hitch-
free and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all
requiredarrangements have been made for the transfer. You should
contact me immediately as soon as you receive
this letter.Trusting to hear from you immediately.
Yours Faithfully,
MR.CHRIS BARTHOLET.
