I am contacting you concerning a relinquish sum of $22,500,000.00 USD. In JUNE 2008 a customer named Edward Kohomange, a foreign contractor with Diamond Offshore Drilling Inc. came to our bank for business discussions and investment. As the officer in charge of his transaction then, I encouraged him to consider the various growth of funds with prime ratings.He invested Nineteen Million Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars ($19,500,000.00 USD) only. Based on my advice, we were able to spin the initial deposit with profit and interest to 22.5 million U.S Dollars. After few months, my Bank (Nationwide Building Society) sent several notices to him without response. Unfortunately, it was gathered that my client died in an auto crash along with his nuclear family in France while on sabbatical in the summer of 2012; May their soul rest in peace.He died without leaving a Will, and several efforts were made to find his extended family through his embassy but to no avail. Due to the sensitive nature of private banking, most customers don't nominate next of kin in their investment. Also, usually in some cases leave their WILLS in our care. In this case, our now deceased client died intestate.It is quite clear that our client died with no identifiable family member. According to practice, the Private Banking sector will be by the end of March 2019 broadcast a request for the 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. That 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. What bothers me most is that according to 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 give the necessary details to you as the closest surviving relation of our deceased customer since both of you coincidentally, or I would say as Fate would have it bears the same surname. I am also proposing that after a successful execution of the business deal, the funds will be shared in the ratio 50/50. You will get 50%, and I will be entitled to 50% as the initiator of the deal. You know that I must have done my homework already before contacting you. Although the project is capital intensive, we will be able to pull it through following proper banking and legal channels with your assistance at your end.Nationwide will provide the legal aspect with the support of a lawyer who will prepare all the documents that will be needed to transfer the money from London to your country. Once more, I ask that if you find no interest in this project, kindly discard this e-mail. Please, do not be vindictive or destructive; Do not destroy my career. Opportunities like this only come once in a lifetime. I have a responsible family, and this is a chance for me to give my family the best in life. Kindly, ponder over my proposal and let me know your decision.If you give me a positive response, I will give you the relevant INFORMATION for the successful transfer of these funds, and we both enjoy it in peace and improve our lot in life. If you give me positive signals, I will initiate this process towards a successful conclusion. I wish to inform you that should you not contact me via official channels because our calls are being monitored at the bank.RegardsMitchel Lenson"infohttps://www.onlinethreatalerts.com/users/#infoFeb 27, 2019 at 4:28 PM by The "Mitchel Lenson with Nationwide Building Society" Advance Fee ScaminfoHere is another scam:---------- Forwarded message ---------From: Mitchel Lenson Date: ter, 26 de fev de 2019 às 12:01Subject: Hello Denilson BarretoHi,i am Mitchel Lenson,Director at Nationwide building society,your profile on LinkedIn fits an opportunity I believe will be mutually beneficial.I await a reply in this regard.Warmest RegardsMitchel Lenson
