COMPLIMENTS OF THE SEASON
Good Day!
I am the manager of bills and exchange at the foriegn
remittance department of the (ABN AMRO BANK AMSTERDAM ). I am
writting you this letter to ask for your support and co-operation
to carry out this transaction. We discovered some abandoned sum
$15,500,000(FIFTEEN MILLION, FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND U.S DOLLAR )
in an account that belongs to one of our foriegn customer who
died along-side his entire family in march this year in a
terrorist train bomb blast in Spain some few months ago.Since
this development,we have advertised for his next of kin or any
close relation to come forward to claim this money,but nobody
came yet to apply for the claim.
To this effect,i and other official in my department have
decided to look for a trusted foriegn partner who can stand in as
the next of kin of the deceased as we cannot do it only
ourselves and claim this money.We need a foreign partner to
apply for the claim on our behalf because of the fact that the
customer was a foreign and we don't want this money to go into
the treasury as unclaimed fund.
Every document to effect this process will emanate from my table
and i will perfect every document to be in accordance with the
banking law and guideline,so you have nothing to worry about and
we have agreed that 30% of this money will be for you,while
10%will be for any expenses incured on both sides wihile 60% will
be for my colleagues and me. If you are willing to help us,please
indicate by replying this letter and putting in your name,
private telephone number,fax and permanent residential address
via my private email address below.I awaits your immediate
response to enable us start this transaction as soon as i
recieved your reply,i will send you a text application form for
immediate APPLICATIION OF CLAIM.
Please contact me even if you are not intrested in my proposal to
you to enable us scout for another partner in the event of
non-interest on your part. Thanks for your co-operation
