Urgent Reply From Mrs Bamba
B. F. A .I BANK
Cote d'ivore.
Dearest one,
Compliments of the season and how you are today I hope fine. Before I
proceed I would like to introduce my self to you. My name is MRS CAROLINE
BAMBA, a staff of the above BANK.I have urgent and confidential business
DEAL preposition for you.
On September 2nd 1998, an oil contractor with the Abidjan, Cote d'ivoire
National Petroleum Corporation MR AL SAUD, BANDAR made a numbered time
(fixed) deposited for twelve calendar valued at US$5.000.000.00 ($5M)in my
branch. Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding
address but got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we
discovered from his contact employers COTE D'IVOIRE National Petroleum
Corporation that MR AL SAUD, BANDAR, died in plane crash along with his
entire family.
See below.

On further investigation, I found out that he did not leave a WILL and all
attempts to trace his next of kin were fruitless. I therefore made further
investigation and discovered that MR AL SAUD, BANDAR did not declare any
next of kin in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit
paperwork. This sum of US$5.000.000.00 is still sitting in the Bank and the
interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each
year. No one will come forward to claim it.
According to the Cote d'ivoire Law, at the expiration of 8 years the money
will revert to the ownership of the Cote d'ivoire Government if nobody
applies to claim the funds. Consequently, my proposal is that I will like
you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to MR AL SAUD, BANDAR so
that the fruits of this old man labour will not get into the hands of some
corrupt government officials.
As an Accountant and a staff of this Bank, What we have to do is simple if
you ad heir to my instructions. You will send to me your complete names,
address and information’s which I will secretly programme in the computer
account file of late MR AL SAUD BANDAR, in our bank as his registered
associate before his death and who is entitle to inherit the deposit encase
of his death. When this money is paid into your account, you take 40% share
of the total sum and 60% will be for me. You will also help me to invest my
owe share in you country. I will give you more details upon receipt of your
response.
Looking forward to see your urgent response.
Best regards,
MRS CAROLINE BAMBA.
