Partnership needed
Sir/Madam
Re: Future business Partner
My
name is Martin Andy. I work with the Standard Bank Limited as an
account officer. In the discharge of my duty, I stumbled on this
domiciliary account that has remained dormant for three years now with
eight million dollars(US$8M) in it. I contacted my Director and we sent
out staff for enquiries and discovered that the account holder died in
motor accident with the next of kin, his wife.
Since I have been
unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 3 years now, I seek
your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased so that
the proceeds of this account valued at $17,000,000.00(seventeen Million
US Dollars).That is the principal amount added the interest for 3 years
can be paid to you and then you and me can share the money. I will get
all the required papers from the appropriate offices to ensure that the
bank sees you as the real next of kin to this deceased customer.
In
view of this, I got your contact in my country's trade journal after
which I was convinced to contact you and introduce this business with
you as a foreigner. The request of the foreigner as a next of kin in
this business is occasioned by the fact that, the customer was a
foreigner and I can not stand as the next of kin to a foreigner. I have
agreed to share this money with you in the mutual understanding of 65%
/25%/10%. Meaning that, you will keep 25% as commission, while I keep
65% and 10% is set outside for expenses that may be incurred during the
proceed of this transaction. Thereafter I will visit your country for
mutual sharing between both of us. Bear in mind also that I would like
to invest my own part of the share in your country. As I am almost due
for retirement. For us to proceed towards this transaction, you have to
send an application text to the security company as the next of kin to
their deceased customer.
I am writing you so that we can work with
you to remit the money to you as the next of kin. It is a simple
process which will take a short while to process and outside this
arrangement am making with you, The bank management will confiscate the
money as unclaimed.
If I hear from you, I will give you more
information about the fund.
