Subject: waiting your urgent response.
surprise because we have never met before. so when I saw you on Google
website, I was pushed to contact you and see how best we can assist
each other. I am Mr. Jim Ovia from London banking. I believe it is the
wish of God for me to come across you. I have an important business
discussion I wish to share with you. which I believe you may be
interested on it, because it will help us in the future. One of my
late clent has a fixed deposit with my bank And Sadly my late clent
was among the death victims on covid-19 virus.
My bank management is not yet to know about his death, I knew about it
because he is my friend and I am his account officer when depositing
his funds in the bank. I have carried out various inquiries to locate
any of his Client and extended relatives but this has proved
unsuccessful. Since the demise of this our customer, who was a
seasoned oil Merchant/contractor. I have kept a close watch of the
deposit records and accounts and since then no body has come to claim
the said money as next of kin
That is why I am looking for someone else to present him or her Next
of Kin/ Heir to the account. And it is my pleasure to meet you and my
bank head quarters will release the account to you. There is no risk
involved; the transaction will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of law. It is better
that we claim the money than allowing the Bank Directors to take it.
They are already rich. so I am suggesting we share the funds equally,
50/50% to both parties, my share will assist me to my future. Let me
know your opinion on this and please do treat this information as top
secret. We shall go over the details once I receive your urgent
response.
Have a nice day and God bless. Anticipating your communication.
Best Regards,
Mr. Jim Ovia from London banking
