PLOT 13 VICTORIA GARDEN CITY,
Email: scamscum@netscape.net
INTRODUCTION: My name is scam scum. I know this proposal will come to you
as a surprise because we havenot met before either physically or through any
correspondence. I have no doubt in your ability to handle this proposal
involving huge sum of money on my familys behalf.
THE SUBJECT: A Foreign Customer (MR. KURT KAHLE) who died along with his
entire family in 31st JULY , 2000 in a plane crash. since his death, as
his accounts Officer I have made frantic efforts to locate any of his
relative, because he has a substantial amount with our Branch. Uphill date
nobody has showed up to lay claim on his deposit.The Banking law and
guideline here in my Country stipulates that if any customer account remains
unserviceable or dormant, and unclaimed after Four years, the account will
be transferred into the Bank treasury on grounds of
Money Laundering ,Drug and Anti -Terrorist activities.
As a Banker I know what happens to such funds, the Executive Director and
the Chairman of the Board of Directors will share it amongst themselves and
send down memos to us for reconciliation.
THE PROPOSAL: My request of a foreigner in this business is occasioned by
the fact that an Indigene of My Country cannot stand as next of kin to a
foreigner. It is therefore on this premise that I seek your cooperation By
standing as a relative to MR KURT KAHLE.
As an Insider I will provide you with all relevant Information/documents
that will authenticate the Claim. Note that your Physical presence is not
needed at the Bank, I will Guide you on the Steps to take. The Bank will
only ask for verifiable Documents which I will provide.
In All Fairness I am willing to share the money with you on Agreed Terms.
For your Information, I have done my home work very well, before embarking
on the process of moving out the funds out of the bank through a Next of
Kin. The Funds is much that no right thinking person can afford to let such
opportunity pass him by.
