Andrew Burridge sent bullsh*t email about money and deceased person with my last name

*Consumer Comment: Are you kidding??

Dear Arnold Wiseman,

Thanks for responding to my mail. My name is Mr. Burridge, I am a staff of NatWest Bank (Dept of Investment Banking Services) here in England , I am contacting you concerning a customer's investment placed under our bank management. As a matter of fact, it was roughly 11 years ago.

With due respect, I would request that you keep the contents of this mail private. Kindly respect the integrity of the information you come by as a result of this email. I contacted you independently and no one is aware of this communication; I would like to intimate you with certain facts that I believe would be of interest to you and benefit the both of us.

All I want is an honest business transaction between us. First, I will start by introducing myself. My full name is Andrew R Burridge. I am a British citizen currently working with NatWest Bank. I have been working here for 21 years, and I have a good working record with my bank.

I am the personal accountant to late Engr Paul Wiseman, a foreign contractor who has a financial portfolio of 8,782,500 (Eight million, seven hundred and eighty-two thousand, five hundred Great British Pounds) with indefinite interest in my bank. My late client was a chemical consultant contractor with Royal Dutch until his death in a fatal car accident while in France on sabbatical with his entire family.

The accident unfortunately took the lives of the family members comprising of himself, his wife and two kids in the summer of 2007. May their souls rest in perfect peace. He banked with us here at NatWest Bank and the money in his account has still not been claimed by anybody as there was no living will in place when he died.

Since the death of my client, my bank and I have made several inquiries to his embassy in order to locate any of his extended family members or relatives but this has proven unsuccessful. I came to know about you in my search for a person who shares the same last name as my late client.

I employed the services of LinkedIn search solely for this purpose because I feel it would not have been the last wishes of my late client for his whole life work to be transferred to a government (Escheat) he had always complained of their unfavorable public monetary policies, taxes and so on while he was alive.

My bank has issued me several notices to provide the next of kin or the account risk been es cheat within the next 10 official working days. The last notice for claim came to my desk last week. I am contacting you to assist me in repatriating the funds left behind before they are declared un-serviced by my bank.

I hereby seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of my late client since you share and bear the same last name. As such, the proceeds of the account can be paid to you as soon as you contact my bank and apply for the funds to be released to you as the next of kin. If we can be of one accord, I see no reason why we would not succeed. We both have to act swiftly on this matter in order to beat the deadline es cheat date.My proposal;

I am prepared to place you in a position whereby an instruction is given to officially release the deposit to you as the closest surviving associate, and all etiquette shall be done in accordance with the rule of banking law, I certainly can guarantee you that, by the common law, the power of bequeathing is coeval with the first rudiments of the law, and this power has been extended to all.

There is no ruling which prevents an inheritance from being so exhausted by legacies as to render it unworthy of the heir's acceptance; basically all persons of sound mind are competent to bequeath and devise real and personal estate, accepting infants, with all this I would say we have the clear advantage to carry out a smooth and perfect operation whereby the paper work shall be coordinated in such a way that your status as a sole beneficiary is confirmed.

Upon receipt of the deposit, I am prepared to share the money with you in half and nothing more. That is, I will simply nominate you as the next of kin and have them release the deposit to you; afterwards we share the proceeds in two equal parts.

I would have gone ahead to ask the funds be released to me, but that would have drawn a straight line to me and my involvement in claiming the deposit, but on the other hand, you as a foreigner would easily pass as the beneficiary with the right to claim, I assure you that I could have the deposit released to you in a few days.

I will simply inform our bank of the final closing of the file relating to the customer, and instruct them to release the deposit to you; with these two things: all is done. I guarantee you that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you and me from breaching UK laws.

I will attach my international Passport ID in my next mail for authenticity so we have equal ground to trust each other. If you are interested in my proposal I will send you more information, directing you on further procedure of how we can claim the money in the account successfully.

I send you this mail not without a measure of fear as to what the consequences might be, but 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 I shall have the pleasure of meeting you, after this task has been completed. The content of this mail should be treated with utmost confidentiality and a quick response from you will be highly appreciated. However, if you are not interested in this proposal, please accept my apologies for sending you the message then kindly delete, I promised that you will never hear from me.

I anticipate your cooperation.

Thanks for your time, do have a great day.
