Subject: Dear Friend,
Dear Friend,
I came across your identity and contact in my desperate quest to
successfully locate the next of kin to an account file forwarded to my desk
for liquidation. I am Dr. Stanley Biko , I work with the legal department
of a local financial institution. My job here is to see that any unclaimed
account is certified and confirmed UNCLAIMED before final liquidation
instruction is passed on any such account file.
With the above explanation of my responsibility in carrying out my duty, it
became very important that I make contact with you because an account
currently valued at USD 85.5 Million (Eighty five million, Five hundred
Thousand US Dollars) was forwarded to my office for final search of next of
kin to the deceased account holder file, the account in question was last
operated in April 2005 and by law is due for liquidation.
I have tried to locate the next of kin to this account all to no avail. In
my quest to locate such person, I came across your identity. Coincidentally
you bear similarity with the identity of account holder and this is the
major reason why I have contacted you. I have been mandated to certify the
next of kin to this account before the liquidation within thirty official
working days, Therefore I seize this opportunity to make a confidential
proposal to you as follows: –
We both work together on this file; I will use my official capacity to
front you as the next of kin to this account file. files relating to this
account will be amended to suit this claim as soon as you have agreed to
work with me. Please kindly respond to this letter via my private Email
address for further clarification : I also want to guarantee that this will
be executed under a legitimate framework that will protect you from any
breach of the Law here and in your country.
I will await your positive response to this mail as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
Dr. Stanley Biko.
