Hello i`m Mr.Charles Haile Managing Director of a bank here in Germany
I write you this proposal in good faith hoping that I will rely on you
in a business transaction that require absolute confidentiality and of
great interest and benefit to our both families.
In 20016,My client whose surname is same as yours and has your country
in his file as his place of origin, made a fixed deposit for 36
months, valued at TWENTY SIX MILLION USA DOLLARS with my bank. I was
his account officer before I rose to the position of Managing
Director.
The maturity date for this deposit contract was 18th of June 2019.
Sadly He was among the death victims in the September 2018 earthquake
in Indonesia that left over 1,200 people dead while he was there on a
business trip. Since the last quarter of 2019 until today, the
management of my bank have been finding means to reach him so as to
ascertain if he will roll over the deposit or have the contract sum
withdrawn.
When I discovered that this will happen, I have tried to think up a
procedure to preserve this fund and use the proceeds for business.
Some directors here have been trying to find out from me the
information about this account and the owner, but I have kept it
closed because, I know that if they become aware that he is late, they
will corner the funds for themselves.
Therefore, am seeking your co-operation to present you as the one to
benefit from his fund at his death since you have the same name, so
that my bank headquarters will pay the funds to you. I have done
enough inside bank arrangement and I only have to put in your details
into the information network in the bank computers and reflect you as
his next of kin.
If you concur with this proposal, I intend for you to retain 50% of
the funds while 50% shall be for me.
Best Regards,
Mr.Charles Haile
