International Relation's Manager
Barclays Bank Of Monaco Plc.
#31 Avenue De La Costa MC 98000.
Monaco,France.
Greetings Well Beloved,
I am Mr Powell Smith,the International Relation's manager at the foreign remittance Department of
(BARCLAYS BANK OF MONACO PLC). I am writing to seek your interest over a transaction. In my
department we discovered an abandoned sum of $59.2m(Fifty nine Million Two Hundred Thousand
Dollar). In an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with his entire
family in a Car accident in August 2002.
Since we got information about his Death,as the International Relation's Manager of the bank I have
been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it unless
somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking
guidelines but unfortunately we learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside
with him at the Car accident leaving nobody behind for the claim.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I now decided to make this business proposal to you and
release the money to you as the next of kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent
disbursement since nobody is coming for it and we don't want this money to go into the Bank
treasury as unclaimed Bill. The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money
remained unclaimed after seven years, the money will be transferred into the Bank treasury as
unclaimed fund.The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact
that the customer was a foreigner from United State of America.
We agree that 50 % of this money will be for you as foreign partner, 50 % would be for me .I will
be waiting for your immediate response to enable me send to you the copy of his death certificate
from the hospital after the accident, deposit certificate issued and signed by our bank when he
deposited the US$59.2m and my office ID Card.This transaction is very easy and simple,and it is
100% risk free
You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this letter.
Trusting to hear from you immediately.
Regards,
Mr Powell Smith
