I got the same email
Greetings,
My sincere apology if the contents of this message do not meet your personal quirks. I was happy when i saw your profile. Please the reason I contacted you is because of our deceased customer who I presumed to be your relative because of the similarities in your last names and most importantly because he was also from your country. He happened to be one of the high profile personalities I have worked for while he was an investor with our bank.In 2003 he came to our bank here in France to engage in business discussions with a financial portfolio of €10.2 million which he wished to have us turn over (invest) on his behalf. I was the officer assigned to his case. We turned the money around various opportunities and made attractive margins for our first years of operation.
In mid-2005, he asked that the money be liquidated for onward transfer because he needed to make an urgent investment requiring cash payments. I undertook all the processes and have the fund liquidated, and that was the last time we heard from him. I did everything humanly possible to track him down all to no avail, and since he listed no next of kin in his bio-data form, I have no one to contact. It was few years after his surprise disappearance that I stumbled upon the Venezuela plane crash manifest where I discovered he actually died with his family in the aforementioned plane crash on Tuesday, 16th of August 2005.
There is €10.2 Million plus the accrued interest abandoned in our bank all these years and now my worst nightmare is about to happen as the bank want to revert the funds back into our treasury as unclaimed and abandoned monies inline with our bank policy. What need to be done now is for me to insert your name from our system into his file as the heir and successor to the portfolio, and once that is done the money automatically become yours, after-which I will guide you with information(s) and furnish you with documents to prove your right to the funds, and have the funds release to you as the rightful and legal heir.
Please understand that I am basically aware it is not easy to trust anyone these days, but when I saw your profile you seem like someone with some level of sensitivity, wisdom and intelligence as such I expect you to see beyond the above-listed elements and envisage a fortuitous prospect in this divine blessing. In fact, i do not really care if he is your relative or not, the most important thing is because of similarities in your names. I know there are millions of people with same surname, but grace found you. I was happy to see your profile and i want us to work like a family to achieve this goal. The deceased is from your country and it will be so painful if the fund of the deceased is confiscated.
I am a family woman and this is an opportunity to keep something aside for my family after retirement. It is my responsibility to present relative of the deceased. There is a reward for this project and it is a task well worth undertaking. I have evaluated the risks and the only risk I foresee here is from you, refusing to work with me and alerting my bank or mistake this proposal for something else or hoax, otherwise wealth is just around the corner for you and I to grab. I will inform you how to execute this transfer in your next e-mail.
Remain bless as I await your response.
Thank You
Mrs Gary Kristle
