Dear Friend, I work as an accountant with a private bank in the United Kingdom (UK).While conducting an audit recently; I came across a dormant account with a hefty balance. The said balance was opened a few decades ago. After diligent research, it turns out that the owner of the account is deceased and the beneficiary under his will is a bankrupt charity. If no person comes forward to make a claim for the money, it would revert back either to the crown or the bank would just conveniently convert it to its coffers. All attempts to get a living relative have not been successful and by August nothing could be done anymore in this regards as it would have been over 18 years of no one coming forward. All the money in the account £4,182,000.00 (Four million, Two Hundred Thousand British Pounds) which is approximately $7,182,000.00 (Seven Million, One hundred and Eighty-two Thousand US Dollars) would revert to the Crown at the end of the year. I have spoken at great lengths with the solicitor, who drafted the will, and the Executor of the Deceased's Estate. We are looking for someone whose company/name or rather someone with a bank account that can receive this money. You would be made the "beneficiary" under the terms of the will. After all the necessary documentations, attestations and legal formalities, that sum would be paid to you as the entitled beneficiary and you in turn would take your agreed percentage and assign the rest to us. Due to the nature of the transaction and the large sum involved, you will be required to sign a separate agreement with us, basically to the effect that you would only take your agreed share, which would be 25% and transfer the balance (after taxes and expenses) to us upon receipt of the said funds. Needless to say, in the course of this transaction, everything must be done in absolute trust and confidentiality. I can be reached at johnwill101@lycos.co.uk. If I do not hear from you within the week, I would have to look for someone else as time is of the essence if we are to make a success of this. I look forward to hearing from you. JOHN WILLIAM.
