| (US$4,800,000.00)PLEASE SIR KINDLY DOWNLOAD THE ATTACHMENT AND GET BACK |
Dear Sir,
I sincerely apologize for
intruding into your privacy, especially by contacting you through this means
for a business transaction of this magnitude. I contacted you via web SMS
because my mobile telephone package does not send or receive messages. For this
reasons, I want our communication to be basically through email for now. I want
you to partner with me in getting back the money (US$4,800,000.00)
left behind in a fixed deposit account in our bank by a citizen of your
country, Mr. Rao Prasad Venkateshwara. If this will endanger your position and
reputation, I would not have contacted you. This is safe and beneficial. I am
presently the operations manager of our bank in Ohio, United States of America
and please do not expose this transaction for any reason, I will give you more
information of myself, our bank and the transaction itself once you write
again.
Late Mr. Rao Prasad
Venkateshwara lived and worked in New York City
as an international businessman. He deposited
in our bank the sum of Four Million, Eight Hundred Thousand US
Dollars (US$4,800,000.00) as fixed deposit. This
deposit has long matured and has gone dormant for about two years. We have
tried to reach him and could not. His telephone number could not be reached,
emails sent to him kept bouncing back as undelivered and we never got any
response from the letters posted to his residential address. This issue
prompted me to carry out an independent investigation about his whereabouts since
he did not provide a next of kin or beneficiary at the time he made the deposit
with us. I later realized with shook that he died sometime in November 2009
of heart related illness in a Los Angeles hospital. His death was not reported
to our bank from that time till this moment and nobody in our bank is aware of
this. He was a kind hearted man and give money out freely. I pray his soul rest
in peace
However, I have on my own
made several enquiries at your embassy and no information of him was found,
which I find weird. My effort to locate any of his relatives took me to your
country and the regional passport office in New Delhi informed me that the
passport number was irrelevant and not issued anywhere in India. Since this is
the issue, I want you to apply as the next of kin of the deceased to claim the
deposit from our bank since it is assumed he was from India. It does not matter
whether you knew him or not, it does not matter if you have any kind of
relationship with him or not. I will guide you all the way to make this claim.
This is not a matter of being greedy or having ugly morals, it is not the best
to leave the money to eventually end up in Government hands while we have the
opportunity to live better with it. This is a risk free transaction, as I am
the operations manager of our bank and the final approval of your application
will be done by my department. Once it is approved, you will have the right to
claim the money. And when it is transferred to you, I will come to meet
with you in order to share the money which will be into two equal parts (50:50)
for each of us after deducting all the costs incurred in getting the money.
With my influence, our
bank will tender the necessary documents to appropriate authorities, like your
country's central bank (RBI) to enable a smooth transfer of the money into your bank account.
Everything will be done legally, have no fear about this. Right now, I have all
the copies of the documents relating to the fixed deposit late Mr. Rao Prasad
Venkateshwara made that you will file to back up this claim. All I require now
is your honest cooperation to enable us make this claim and we have to do this
within shortest time possible. If you are willing to do this with me, write
back and I shall inform you on what next to do. If nothing is done immediately,
the money will be returned to the government treasury as an abandoned fund and
we will gain nothing from it. I am waiting for your consent in order to move to
the next step towards getting the fund. Thank you and I am waiting.
Best regards,
Christopher White
