Subject: LET US MAKE IT WORK
Hello! It's my pleasure to meet you on this platform. Thanks for your
kind response for accepting my request. I'm from Cambodia and a bank
manager with one of the leading banks here in Cambodia. However, I am
contacting you for a reason, one of my late customer bears the same
name as yours. He died seven (7) years ago and left the sum of $10.7
Million United States Dollars in his account. Hence no relative of the
deceased have come to claim his money, I now decided to track any of
his relatives through the last name over the facebook; which I deem it
necessary to reach you because you bear the same surname with the late
account holder. I have been mandated by my bank management to provide
the next of kin's information to his account; and if by ANY REASON
whatsoever I fail to produce any of his relative's information in
twenty nine (29) bank working days, the account balance of
$10.700,000.00 United States Dollars will be returned to the Cambodian
government treasury account without any delay. Unfortunately, my
client died with his family in a GHASTLY MOTOR ACCIDENT during summer
holiday of 2012 in France. His account mandate does not have any
contact of any of his relatives as his next of kin. I was his personal
accountant before he died and I have all the vital information and
documents needed for us to claim the aforementioned sum of
$10.700,000.00 United States Dollars without any problem. For this
reason, you and I will share the above sum 50/50 after the money is
transferred to your by my bank's remittance department. I think this
is a fair decision instead of the Cambodian government taking the
whole sum for the services they never rendered. As a result of this,
my only worry is about your ability to keep this transaction secret to
protect my job. The transaction is 100% risk free as I have studied
and investigated the transaction properly as a professional banker and
discovered that it's risk free before telling letting you know about
it. I think we can work things out as I anticipate a favorable
response from you. Regards, James Chong, CAMBODIA.
