Dear Respectful,
I beg your excuse for the inconveniences that this mail may cause to you but please take your time to go through it.
IT IS MY SINCERE DESIRE TO RELATE TO YOU THIS IMPORTANT BUSINESS, COUNTING SO MUCH ON YOUR GOOD SENSE OF UNDERSTANDING, AND BELIEVING THAT YOU WILL NEVER LET ME DOWN EITHER NOW OR IN FUTURE.
My name is Stanford Winston, I work with one of the Bank here in London. I am the personal accounts manager to one Engr. PHILIP, a National of your country, who owned a communication company here in United Kingdom.My client, his wife, and their three children were involved in the ill fated Malaysia Airlines is shot down over the Donetsk region of Ukraine near the Russian border, killing all 298 aboard in July 17, 2014.
Since the death of my customer, I have made several inquiries to your embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives but have been unsuccessful. After several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his last name over the internet, to see if I could locate any member of his family hence I came across your contact.
Of particular interest is this huge deposit with our bank here in, where the deceased has an account valued at about US15.5 million Pounds. Being the personal a/c manager of the deceased's bank account, the bank has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin/beneficiary or else the bank will declare the account unserviceable and thereby forfeit the funds to the bank treasury.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over the past 2 years now, I hereby seek your consent (with due respect and honour) to present you as the next of kin to the deceased since you have the same last names with him or nationality, so that the proceeds of this account can be paid to you and then you and I will share the money 50 / 50. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us seeing this deal through.
However, I urgently need you the following information from you which I have to place in the computer file of the deceased as next of kin/beneficiary: (1) your full name, (2) your date of birth (3) resident address. And I will like you to send me your telephone and fax for easy communication.
I guarantee that this will be executed under all legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.Please only contact through this my private email id ([email protected])
I am looking forward to earliest reply.
Thanks in advance as I anticipate your maximum cooperation in this regards.
Kind Regards
