My name is JOHN C WILLIAM, Chief Financial Officer, WELLS FARGO BANK here in UNITED STATES.
I have URGENT and discreet business proposal for you that shall benefit us immensely should you choose to participate.
Before I reveal any sensitive information it is important I state categorically that, all privilege information concerning my proposal and this business transaction is treated with utmost confidentiality due to source of funds.
These funds which sums up to USD$8.7Million United States Dollars are currently in our client segregated account in relation to one of our private client late [MR. JAMES] (Deceased) who passed away 5 years ago. Hence, the reason why I have contacted you is because you share the same LAST name with the deceased which is very important in securing the above mentioned funds.
These funds are held with our prime brokers which is an offshore bank here in HOUSTON, TEXAS, USA. With your permission, I shall give step by step explanation on why I need your assistance and also the source of funds. Further information on how we shall proceed legally to obtain these funds will be provided in due course once I ascertain your genuine intentions and willingness to assist.
Should you be interested, then I will like to hear from you soon via my contact
details below to enable me provide you with more details on how we are to proceed. I anticipate and look forward to a successful business relationship with you.
Yours faithfully,
John C. William
