Hello everybody, I answered first email thinking that it was part of a recruitment process of a job proposal, this was what I got from mr. Lenson, very elaborated proposal that can´t be refused, I hope this information can be helpful for you.

Dear Sir XXXX,
Your response is appreciated. The reason I reached out to you is related to an unclaimed fund of $29,650,081.50 USD at my Financial Institution which has been there for several years unattended.

In October 2008, late Mr. Theodore (my surname), an expatriate contractor with Diamond Offshore Drilling Inc. came to our Bank for business discussions and opened an investment account. As the officer in charge of his transaction at the point of investment, I encouraged him to consider a few investment packages with a considerable rate of returns on investment. He invested Twenty million, Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($20,500,000.00 USD) only.

Based on my advice, we could meticulously have an investment growth on the initial deposit with profit and interest to over 29.5 million U.S Dollars within a couple of years. Unfortunately, it was gathered that our client along with his wife and dependent children died in an auto-crash at France while on sabbatical in the summer of 2012. May their souls rest in peace.

He died without filing a WILL detailing the disposition of his investment (Money held at my Financial Institution) and several efforts were made to locate his
extended family through his Embassy which proved abortive. We also developed a handful of supposed effective methods to locate possible relatives as the investor died without a valid WILL including the use of websites, cross-checking public data, staging a couple of awareness events at state fairs and even shopping malls, but still to no avail and they were all terminated. Due to the sensitive nature of private banking, most clients do not nominate next of kin in their investment; usually in some cases leave their WILLS in our care. In this case, our now deceased client died IN-TESTATE.

It is obvious that the investor died with no identifiable family member. Owing to practice, the Private Banking sector will by the end of December 2018 broadcast a request for a statement of claim to NATIONWIDE BUILDING SOCIETY, failing to receive viable claims they will probably revert the deposit to the management of NATIONWIDE BUILDING SOCIETY.

This will result in the money entering the Nationwide Accounting System and the portfolio will be out of my hands and out of the private banking division. My concern here is per the laws of my country at the expiration of Ten (10) years; the funds will revert to the ownership of the British Government if nobody applies to claim the funds.

I’m prepared to furnish you the necessary details as the closest surviving relation of our deceased client since both of you coincidentally or I would say as Fate would have it bear the same surname. I am also proposing that after a successful transfer of the Inheritance monies to your Account, the funds will be shared in the ratio 40/60. You will get 40% and I will be entitled to 60% as the initiator of the transaction.

We could review the sharing ratio as deem fit, so long it is reasonable and aligned to the mutual benefit. The background work for this endeavor has been laid and the foundation is solid before contacting you. Although the project is capital intensive, we shall pull it through following proper Banking and Legal channels with assistance at your end.

I will firm up the preparation of the needed preliminary paperwork with the assistance of an Attorney in ensuring a hitch-free transfer of the Inheritance money from London to your Country. Opportunities of this nature do not always come knocking in a lifetime. This might be an avenue to invest in diverse areas. Ponder over my proposal and let me know your thoughts. If you find no interest in my proposal though, please discard the e-mail.

If you give me a positive response, you can be assured that I would initiate the process to a successful transfer of these funds and we both have our benefits to utilize on whatever suits us without any cause to worry. Anticipating a reply from you as soon as possible.

Mitchel."
