Subject: Greetings friend,
Greetings friend,
I am Mr. Edward Kong, the Vice President and Branch Manager of The
Bank of East Asia (USA), Flushing Branch Flushing New York, USA. I
write to seek your consent to carry out a transaction that would be
highly beneficial to you and me. I know you may be wondering why I am
contacting you for this despite all the friends and relations that I
have but I decided to do this with an unknown person to avoid any form
of black mail in the future.Mr.Alvin Peter Kappelmann Jr was an
account holder with my bank. I have been his account officer for 11
years before his death. He died during the World Trade Centre bombing
in September 11 2001.
Since his death, the management of my bank has made series of efforts to locate
his family but all efforts were proved abortive. I also carried out
series of research to find his family but it was confirmed that the
mother who was the only surviving member of the family died at the
hearing of the sonâs death. He was already divorced before his death
and due to this fact; no one was able to claim the fund he deposited
in my bank legally because there was no will to it. He had a secret
dollar account with my bank which worth the sum of $58,200,000.00
(Fifty Eight Million, Two Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) with
an interest agreement of 6.7%, which have been for the past 9 years.
My purpose of contacting you now is this: My bank during the last
executive board meeting resolved that if by the end of this year and
there is no beneficiary to the said account, the account will be
confiscated and the fund sent to the bank treasury and this is where I
am interested in and wants you to come in:I want you to come in as the
Next of Kin/Beneficiary to this account. I have some of the titled
documents to back your claim and as the Vice President and Manager of
this branch, it is in my power to carry out any form of verification
on the beneficiary of the said fund and process the fund wire without
any problem. I want you to know that this is legal, 100% risk free as
all the titled documents would be changed to your name, and the fund
wired to any bank account you wish to have it wired to.Please note
that I am willing to let you have 50% of the total sum while you give
me 50% when the fund finally gets to your nominated bank account.
Also, note that I am willing to go extra mile to make this a success
because if anything goes wrong, then I stand the risk of losing my job
and even go to jail for trying to carry out such transaction. This is
why I am contacting you so that we can put heads together and take
care of this transaction within now and the next 9 days.Kindly get
back to me immediately at ( [email protected] ) so that I
advise you on how this would be carried out.
Â
Sincerely,
Mr.Edward Kong
