Hello,
that sounds impressive! I am excited to hear more about your company. Can you help me with some references, completed projects, partners, etc.?
Alexander Stephens
CEO, MNesty, LLC
Good Day Friend, Let me introduce my self, My name is James Mahon, I am the Senior Vice President, Head of Fund Accounting at Northern Trust Wealth & Asset Management UK / IRELAND. I am also an investment director responsible for the management of private client portfolios, including trusts, charities and pension funds, i am contacting you concerning Albert, a deceased customer of my Bank and investment he placed under our banks management 8 years ago to the tune of eighteen million United States dollars ($18, 000, 000, 00). I would respectfully request that you keep the contents of this mail confidential and respect the integrity of the information you come by as a result of this mail. I have been in charge of this department for years and to best of my knowledge, I have discharged my duty with equity. In the process of review of our financial report by my department, I discovered that both of you have a similar last name; hence I contacted you so that I can give you further briefing on my intention and how to disburse the funds and estate he left behind. My proposal; you share the same surname with our late client; I am prepared to place you in a position to instruct the Bank to release the deposit to you as the closest surviving relation. Upon receipt of the deposit, I am prepared to share the money with you in half. That is, I will simply nominate you as the next of kin and have them release the deposit to you. We share the proceeds 50/50. I ask that you do not destroy my chance, if you will not work with me let me know and let me move on with my life but do not destroy me. I am a family man with wife and children; this is an opportunity to provide them with new opportunities. There is a reward for this project and it is a task well worth undertaking. Please, again, note I am a family man; and I know within me that nothing ventured is nothing gained and that success and riches never come easy or on a platter of gold. This is the one truth I have learned from my private banking clients. do not betray my confidence. If we can be of one accord, we should act swiftly on this.
Please get back to me immediately for further communication
I await your response.

Hello,
I am a bit busy now, but I am definitely interested. When can we talk?
Alexander Stephens
CEO, MNesty, LLC
Dear Alexander Stephens, Thanks for your interest in this business. I must say that I have enormous respect for you. We never know when life is about to shower us with good fortune, however we spend so much time wishing that life does. The rareness of your name has made it possible for us to come together and share this money. Let’s move ahead and see what we can achieve.
I am also glad to note that you are a decent and reliable person who I can rely on for abilities to handle this transaction and that is why is I decided to do this business with you, that is why it became necessary for me to seek your assistance, I appreciate the fact that you are ready to execute this project with me. You should not have anything to worry about, I will do everything legally required to ensure that this project goes smoothly, it will pass through all Laws of International Banking.Having resolved to entrust this transaction into your hands, I want to remind you that, it needs your commitment and diligent follow up.
If we work seriously, the entire transaction should be over in a couple of days. In the banking circle this happens every time as I mentioned in my previous email.
PLEASE READ THOROUGHLY:
Primarily, I will like to know how old you are and what you do for a living. You should note that this project is capital intensive; this is why I have to be very careful; I need your total devotion and trust to see this through. I know we have not met before, but I am very confident that we will be able to establish the necessary trust that we need to execute this project before we meet very soon. Some how I believe that we will become great friends for life, that you and your family will visit and share with me and my family and vice-versa. I know this is just the beginning of a great friendship and God willing awesome things to happen between us. Very soon, I will recommend that you open an offshore/online account with our mother bank (I will send you the contact in due time). The money will be transferred into that offshore account which you will open in that bank for the purpose of receiving the transfer, this is the best way I have found, it will protect us from huge that may be taxes levied. I want us to enjoy this money in peace when we conclude. So you should listen to my instructions and follow them loyally. Opening the account is your responsibility. After that, the money will be banked there for both of us, no other person will be involved in this transaction, and you can then instruct that offshore bank to transfer our both shares into our respective home bank accounts. In light of the above,
I will need you to provide me with the following details.
Your name and address in full. Your home telephone and office telephone numbers.
Your fax numbers.
A detailed profile of yourself and company if any.
A valid identification
As soon as I get the information I will have my lawyer go ahead to procure the relevant documents which will confirm you with the rights of the next of kin to deceased. I wish to inform you that should you contact me via official channels; I will deny knowing you and about this project. I repeat, I do not want you contacting me through my official phone lines nor do I want you contacting me through my official email account. Contact me only through the numbers I will provide for you and also through this email address. I do not want any direct link between you and me.
My official lines are not secure lines as they are periodically monitored to assess our level of customer care in line with our Total Quality Management Policy. Please observe this instruction religiously.
Looking forward to a good business relationship with you and hoping to hear from you soonest my good friend.
Hi,
Great, thanks. Could we have a short call to discuss the specifics? What are your contact details? Also, what is your pricing model like?
Alexander Stephens
CEO, MNesty, LLC
Dear Alexander Stephens,
Thank you very much for your email and explanations, actually I have confidence in your capabilities to handle this transaction appropriately, this I would say is an advantage to both of us, honestly speaking I have no cause to doubt your integrity,however I believe that our individual virtues would be confirmed as we move along with this business. You should also have trust in me as I will have in you otherwise what will be the point going further if we cannot establish some trust for each other. You being part of this transaction would only be at your free will I cannot impose this on you, it is your choice to accept or disagree with the principles and of this business or even with the transaction as a whole.
I would indeed be overwhelmed meeting you in person, perhaps there are lots of other transactions we could have together apart from this, I have being in the financial sector for many years though I try as much as possible to diversify my interests by exploring new frontiers. Well if I may remind you again, you are required to send a copy of your Driver's Licence or your Passport data page sent to me immediately via email attachment, the most important issue is that I want to be sure I am transacting with the correct person, my curiosity can be justified considering the money in question, besides, it is this copy of your Driver's Licence or Passport data page that will be be used by the Attorney have all the necessary documentations perfected, I want the funds transferred from my bank before next week runs out.
If you really intend to execute this transaction with me it would be necessary to have these sent to me immediately via email attachment.
I earnestly await your response.

Hello Alexander,
I dont know what else do you suggest, because i have sent you my I.D already i guess you should send yours to proceed with this transaction regarding the sum atlist we should be able to instroduce each other by sending I.D first so that we should know each other and start from there as we proceed.
