I am making this contact based on the information I gathered from the business contact trade centre representative office here in Canada, where I got your WhatsApp Number.
I have been mandated by my colleagues to seek for a very reliable and trustworthy person or a foreign company that can assist us in a very confidential business transaction, that will be of financial benefit to both parties based on mutual trust and co-operation.
I am Mr. Chris Woods, the bill and exchange manager of a bank here in Canada and I am contacting you on a business transfer of a huge sum of money from a deceased account. Though I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make anyone apprehensive and worried, I am assuring you that all will be well at the end of the day. We decided to contact you due to the urgency of this transaction.
PROPOSITION;
I discovered an abandoned sum of US$55,500,000.00 (Fifty Five million five hundred thousand united states dollars) in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customers who died along with his entire family. Since his death, none of his next-of-kin or relations has come forward to lay claims for this money as the heir. We cannot release the fund from his account unless someone applies for claim as the next-of-kin to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines. Upon this discovery, I now seek your permission to have you stand as a next of kin to the deceased as all documentation will be carefully worked out by us for the funds to be released in your favour as the beneficiary's next of kin. It may interest you to know that we have secured from the probate an order of mandamus to locate any of deceased beneficiaries.
Please acknowledge receipt of this message in acceptance of our mutual business endeavour by furnishing me with the following;
1. Full Names
2. Contact Address
3. Direct Telephone number
4. Any Form Of Id Card
These requirements will enable us to file a letter of claim to the appropriate departments for necessary approvals in your favour before the transfer can be made. I shall be compensating you with 50% on the final conclusion of this project, while the rest shall be for us for investment purposes in your country that you will propose to us.
I await your prompt reply.
Yours Sincerely,
Chris Woods
