Subject: URGENT MEMO
Hello Dear,
I write in good faith and trust that you will take a moment to
consider the content of this letter. I am Patrick Hugate, Head of
Internal Audits Lloyds Banking Group, London, UK.One of my Discrete
Official Duties is to look for relatives of Deceased Clients
(Depositors) without registered heir or next of kin and bring them
forward to receive their late relative’s Estate. While working I
discovered the sum of US$12,300,000 (Twelve Million Three Hundred
Thousand United States Dollars) floating in an account opened in 1999,
which belongs to one Mr. K. P. bearing same last name with you,he died
in 2007. Every effort made to track any member of his family has since
failed because the deceased died leaving no heir or a will in his
file.
My intention is to use my office to facilitate the transfer of the
above sum to a safe account overseas. I want to propose that you
partner with me and stand in as the next of kin since you share the
same last name with the Diseased. You will be required to provide and
existing account or set up a new account that will serve the purpose
of receiving this fund.
The account has not been operated since he died in 2007 and nobody has
come forward to lay claims to it, hence the funds have been floating.
The information I have on this account is confidential as no other
person has access to it. If the funds are not remitted urgently, it
would be forfeited and subsequently converted to company’s funds which
will benefit the company’s shareholders only. With my assistance the
fund will be legally approved to you with all the necessary documents
and approvals in your name. However, we will work side by side to
enable me guide you on how to apply for the funds.
As soon as I receive your response, I will send you more detail. I
completely trust you to keep this information absolutely private
because of my position in the Office. While replying, kindly forward a
copy of this letter back to me email for me to be sure you got my
letter and provide your Private Telephone and email contacts for easy
communication. I look forward to your prompt response.
Best Regards,
Patrick Hugate.
