Dear Sir/Madam,
I know that this
mail will come to you as surprises we have never meet before. My name is Dr. Susan Davies , the director in charge of
Chief Auditing and Accounting Unit of HSBC BANK LONDON I and my colleagues, hoped that you will not expose
or betray this trust and confidant that I am about to repose on you for the
mutual benefit of our both families. I am writing in respect of Mr. Anh, Il
Tae of a foreign customer of our Bank who perished long with his next of
kin with Korean Air Line, flight number 801with the whole passengers on 6th of
Augustus 1997, Open and view the website: http://www.cnn.com/WORLD/9708/06/guam.passenger.list/
Since the demise of
this our customer,
I personally has watched with Keen interest to see the next
of kin but all has proved abortive as no one has come to claim his funds of £10.000.000,00
(Ten Million Pounds), which has been with our branch for a very long time.
On this note, I decided to seek for whom his name shall be used as the Next of
Kin since nobody is coming for the fund again. The Banking ethics here does not
allow such money to stay more than 16 years, because the money will be recalled
to the Bank treasury as unclaimed fund after this period. In view of this I got
your contact through the Internet when I was making a research on a foreigner
that I will use in this great opportunity because I don’t want the money to be
recalled to our Bank treasury as unclaimed fund. I have also agreed to offer
you 30% of the total sum and the rest 70% will be for me. The
reason for a foreigner in the Business is for the fact that the deceased man
was a foreigner and it is not authorized by the law guiding our Bank for a
citizen of this country to make the claim of the fund. So the Request of you as
a foreigner is necessary to apply for the release and transfer of the fund
smoothly into your reliable Bank account as the Surving Relation to the
deceased. If you are really sure of your integrity, trust worthy and
confidentiality, and accept not to cheat or disappoint me after this business,
reply with the following details below:
(1)Your telephone
and fax numbers,
(2)Your residential
address,
(3)Your photocopy of
your international passport or driving license for identification
Upon receipt of the above-mentioned information’s, indicating your Interest in the business, I will send you by fax or e-mail on the next procedure to follow in other to execute this transaction .I will not fail to bring to your notice that this business is hitch free and don’t have any negative impact. You should not entertain any fear as all modalities for the smooth and easy transfer of this fund has been finalized, this transaction will be completed within 14-bank working Days immediately we start the business. Waiting for your urgent response and please kindly delete if you are not interested. Email me with this :( drsusandavieprivatehsbc@london.com
Regards,
Dr. Susan
Davies
Knowing English well is a great ally in detecting email scams. If somebody claims to represent a leading bank and writes a first sentence of such appalling quality in both tone and grammar, you know immediately that the email is a scam.
ReplyDeleteI try to have good feelings about people, but when I get an e-mail like this I start spitting obscenities...
