Scam EmailThanks for your email. I want you to know that my reason for contacting you is very important. Please take this seriously. All I want is a Honest business transaction with you. I will start by introducing my self. My name is Ms Anita Gustav, I am an Accountant with Metro Bank Group Plc. I have been working with the Metro Bank Group Plc of United Kingdom for the past 15 years. The details of my proposal and the reason why I contacted you is very important. I am the personal Account Manager to Engineer Anderson <>, He used to work with the Shell Petroleum Development Company here in United Kingdom, as an Expatriate. Unfortunately, on the 21 June 2002, My client, his wife, and their three children were involved in a car accident in Central London. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives. Since his death I have made several inquiries to your embassy to locate any of my clients extended Relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his last name through your embassy, to locate any member of his family hence I contacted you.
My bank has issued me several notice to provide the Next of Kin being that I am his personal Accountant before his death. The last notice for claim came to my desk three days ago.
I have been notified to provide a next of kin to claim the funds or the account confiscated within the next ten official working days. I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and property left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank. For the fact that I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for 3 years now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased since you have the same last name so that the proceeds of this account valued at £4,300,000 Million Great British Pounds Sterling can be paid to you, then you and I can share the money 50% to me and 50% to you, after claiming the funds.
This project will be of great benefit to us. As a matter of fact, an attorney will be contracted to help us revalidated and notarize all the necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any claim we may make. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us seeing this deal through. I guarantee you that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. My Bank ID and some of my photo to this email for you to know me better. I am willing to send you more information for you to understand better.
I will send you some important information in my next email. As soon as I hear from you, I will direct you further on the legal procedure to claim the funds.
Thanks for cooperation,
Ms Anita Gustav
