Subject: Very Important E-mail From Mr. Kane Hello
Please accept my sincere apologizes if my email does not meet your
business or personal ethics. I will first introduce myself as Mr.Kane Cole, a
staff in the Private Clients Section of a well known bank, here in U
K.
One of our accounts, with holding balance of £15,000,000 (Fifteen
Million Pounds Sterling) has
been dormant and last operated three years ago. From my investigations and
confirmation, the owner of the said account, a foreigner by name Ed
Swingle died on the 5th of January 2002 in a plane crash in Birmingham; you can view this CNN website
for details on the crash.
Since then, nobody has done anything as regards the claiming of
this money, as he has no family member that has any knowledge as to the
existence of either the account or the funds; and also Information from the
National Immigration also states that he was single on entry into the
UK.
I have confidently discussed this issue with some of the bank
officials and we have agreed to find a reliable foreign partner to deal with. We
therefore propose to do business with you, standing in as the next of kin of
these funds from the deceased and funds released to you after necessary
processes have been followed.
This transaction is totally free of risk and troubles as the fund
is legitimate and does not originate from drug, money laundry, terrorism or any
other illegal act.
On your interest, let me hear from you.
Warm Regards, Kane Cole
