luciacorrao@aol.comContent of the email.: Hell XXX,
Thanks so very much for your time. I am glad that I found you. I know that this message might come to you as a surprise. But what I am about to disclose to you is 100% real, I hope and trust you would not give me away if you are not interested in what I am about to tell you.
In the bank where I work there is a large sum of money that belongs to a customer with the name Albert A. XXX who happens to have the same last name as yours. The fund has been without any claim because he and his entire family died in an Airbus A320, which crashed into the Black Sea near the Russian city of Sochi, killing all 113 on board. May 3rd, 2006. He was working here in the United States as an Oil Contractor and till date no one has come to make claim of the funds as no one else knows about it apart from me because I was the account officer at that time and had the responsibility of tracing any of his existing relatives. But all my efforts have been in vain till date.
I want your cooperation so as to make the bank pay you the funds as the beneficiary and next of kin to the funds. This transaction will be of great mutual assistance to us. I am freely giving you the full details of this transaction bearing in mind that I can trust you and you will also protect my interest. The name of the bank I work with is Industrial and Commercial Bank of China USA Branch, and recently I have been promoted to the office of the Manager of the branch where I work. Do not be surprised as to how I found and chose you. When the opportunity came for this deal to be carried out, I had to find someone who bears the same last name to perfect my plan. It was during my search on the internet that I found you and I believe that you are the right one to deal with. I felt that this is God's design that this should go through you, so I decided to confide in you and discuss it.
I will be sending you a copy of the Deposit Certificate of the funds edited to bear your name as the beneficiary/next of Kin, once you accept my proposal. This transaction requires utmost trust and dedication from your side, since you will be receiving the funds as the beneficiary/next of Kin to Albert A XXX and you shall be in control of the money. Regarding the sharing, I believe that my sharing ratio is acceptable to you, 45 % for you and the other 45 % for me is a fair deal. The other 10 % will be for any expenses incurred in the course of this transaction. The amount in question is USD 5.3 Million (Five million, three hundred Thousand US Dollars) . I want you to bear one thing in mind: you might not have known the late Albert A. XXX and might not be your relative. But he existed and none of his relatives can be traced. I assure you that there is no risk involved in this transaction. It is 100% risk free and secured once you follow my Instructions and keep everything secret between us. All I have to do is to place your information in our banking system and edit the deposit certificate with your name as the beneficiary/next of Kin to the late Albert A. XXX and you will apply for the claim from our bank. You do not have to come down here for the claim, with my new position in the bank, the secret of our bank system is under my palm, placing your details in the system as the beneficiary/next of Kin to the late Albert A. XXX is an easy task for me. Once again there is absolutely no risk involved in this. The transaction will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect both of us from any breach of law. I will present you as a relative to Albert A. XXX and the only proof the bank will need is your identification, where your names are written with the last name as XXX and a copy of the deposit certificate which I will be providing to you. This is a very smooth operation, with me in the bank as an insider.
This transaction will not last more than 2 weeks, and the funds will be released to you and transferred to any account of your choice bit by bit by the online banking system to avoid any suspicion.
The information I require to commence this process at your acceptance.
is as follows:
1: YOUR FULL NAME
2: HOME/OFFICE ADDRESS
3: YOUR DATE OF BIRTH
4. YOUR TELEPHONE/MOBILE NUMBER
5. OCCUPATION
6. MARITAL STATUS
7. NEXT OF KIN
8. A photocopy of any of your identification.
Once I receive the above-mentioned information from you and conclude with my inside arrangements and changes, I will send you a copy of the deposit certificate and the contact details of the bank you will be contacting to make the claim. As far as the bank is concerned, I will be in control. It has been my dream to have a business of my own as I plan to retire soon. I believe that God has answered my prayers by creating this opportunity. Please, remember to treat this transaction with utmost confidentiality for our own good. I will be sending you a copy of the deposit certificate, which is the only document required for now, once I hear from you. I await your urgent response.
Attached is a photocopy of my verified identification for you to know who you are dealing with and also to know that this is for real.
Kind Regards
