FROM MR JOHN KABA
DIRECTOR, AUDIT AND ACCOUNT DEPT.
Dear Friend
Compliments of the day.How are you and your business
today with hope that God is fully in control.I believe that you will be
suprise to receive this mail in the sense that you dont know me till this
moment.I must first apologise as it was as matter of urgency needed in the
transaction .
I am Mr.JOHN KABA, the director of account and audit
department Of one of the prime banks in Cote D'Ivoire
,formely known as Ivory Coast in West Africa.
.I am writing following the impressive information
about you .With due respect and regards.during our quartely auditing in
our bank.my department came across a huge amount of money eight MILLION
UNITED STATES DOLLAR(US$8,000,000.00) belonging to one of our foreign customer,a
Rwanda who died along with his entire family in april 1994 ethnic massacre(genocide)
Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next
of kin to come over and claim his money because we can not release it unless
somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to
the decease as indicated in our banking guidlines and
laws, but unfortunately I learnt that all his surpposed next of kin or relation
died along side with him in the genocide leaving no body behind for the
claim. it is therefore upon this discovery that I decided to make this business
proposal to you and to enable the release of the money to you as the next
of kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement
since nobody is coming for it and since this money had gone into the bank
treasury as unclaimed bill.
The banking law and guidline here stipulates that if
such money remained unclaimed after a period of time , the money will be
transfered into the bank treasure as unclaimed fund. The request of a foreigner
as next of kin in this business is occassioned by the fact that the customer
was a foreigner(rwandan) and an ivorian like me cannot stand as next of
kin to a foreigner.
We will discuss our sharing percentage as soon as we establish a mutual
relationship.After the transfer I will visit your country for disbursment
according to the percentages we will decide upon.bear it in mind that a
percentage of the fund will be earnmarked for donation to charity organisations
in
Rwandan for the cause of the victims of the genocide.
Therefore, to enable the immediate transfer of this
fund to you as arranged,I will issue you an specimen of application which
you will apply first to the bank as relation or next of kin of the deceased.in
the specimen of the application you will re-type,fill the necessary information
about you and summit it to the bank which the address will be upon the
application.upon receipt of your reply, i will send all the documents covering
the fund.but at thesame time i will want you to include to me your
telephone and fax number for our effective communication.
Also i will like you to know that we have to keep this business secret between
ourselves. You can contact me immediately through my secured E-mail address
(john_kaba2002@yahoo.fr )as soon as you receive this mail.
GOD BLESS YOU,
MR.JOHN KABA.
