a new scam

[carratt]

I just received this letter by email and thought you guys might get a kick out of it.

Having obtained your contact from the internet and
coupled with my deep interest to invest in your country, I decided
to contact and solicit your mutual assistance.
I am Mr. Andy Morris ,Branch Manager, Westpac Banking
Corporation London.

On January 6th 1999, one Mr. Mohamed Kamal Yasser ,an
Egyptian National,a consultant/contractor with Gardiner &
Theobald,a leading firm of project and cost management
consultants, made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit,
valued at 19,500,000.00(Nineteen Million,Five Hundred Thousand
Pounds) for twelve calender months in my Bank Branch.
Upon Maturity, we sent a routine notification to his
forwarding address but got no reply. After a month,
we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his
contract employers (Gardiner & Theobald) that Mr. Mohamed
Kamal Yasser died from air disaster in October 31st, 1999.

On further investigation, it was discovered that he died
without making a WILL (En-state) and all attempts to trace
his next of kin was fruitless.
On further investigations, it was discovered that Late Mr
Mohamed Kamal Yasser did not declare any next of kin or
relations in all his official documents, including his Bank
Deposit paper work here at the Bank.
The total sum, 19,500,000.00 pounds is still in my bank and the
interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the
end of each year. No one will ever come forward to
claim it.

In accordance with the Banking Federal Laws and
constitution, at the expiration of 5 (five) years, the
money will revert to the ownership of the Government
if nobody applies as the next of Kin to claim the funds.
Consequently, I shall present you as a foreign partner to
stand in as the next of kin to late Mr. Mohamed Kamal
Yasser so that you and I can benefit from the fruits
of this old man's labour to enhance humanitarian Organisation
Worldwide.

Upon acceptance of this proposal, I shall send to you
either by fax or email a scanned copy of the Westpac
Banking Corporation "Next of Kin Payment Application
Form" as well as detailed information on how this deal
would be transacted.
We shall employ the services of a solicitor for the
drafting of the LAST WILL & TESTAMENT of Late Mr.
Mohamed Kamal Yasser and to obtain all other relevant papers
in your name for the necessary documentation for payment
approval in my bank headquarters in your favour.
The money will be shared in the ratio:
Sixty percent for me, thirty five percent for you and
five percent for any arising contigencies during the
course of this transaction.

I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate
arrangements that will protect you from any breach of
the law as I will use my position as the Bank's Branch
Manager to secure approvals and guarantee the successful
execution of this transaction. It will take only 7-10 working
days to conclude this transaction.
Please be informed that your utmost confidentiality
is required. If this interests you, please reply me immediately
through my private email adress(andymorris2005@web-mail.com.ar)
and include your private phone number for voice contact
and fax number so that I can provide you with more details and
relevant documents that will help you understand the
transaction.

Awaiting your urgent reply.
