I know this email will reach you as a surprise, but need not to
worry as i am using the only secured and confidential medium
available to seek for foreign assistance in a business.
I am ENG.PHILLIP MOHAMMED from the FIRST INTERCONTINENTAL
BANK.(FIB), DAKAR-SENEGAL.Branch. This business request may seem
strange, but I crave your indulgence and pray that you view it
seriously as I am convinced that you would be capable to provide me
with a solution to a money transfer.
On June 6, 1999, an America Oil consultant/contractor with
Petroleum Corporation, Mr.Robert Rice made a numbered time (fixed)
deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at US$6,500,000.00(six
Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars )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 contract employers in the Petroleum Corporation that Mr.Robert
Rice and his wife Mrs. Mary Rice died in the plane crash On October
31, 1999, (an Egyptair Boeing 767 Flight 990) with other passengers
on board as you can confirm it yourself via the website below:
http://www.greatdreams.com/PassEAir990.htm
On further investigation, I found out that he died without making a
WILL and attempts to trace his next of kin were fruitless. I
therefore made further investigation and discovered that the next of
kin to Mr.Robert Rice was his wife who had died with him in the
plane crash.and did not declare any of his relations in all his
official documents, including his bank deposit paperwork in my bank.
This sum of US$6,500,000.00 and the interest is being rolled over
with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one will ever
come forward to claim it According to AFRICAN law, at the expiration
of (five) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the
SENEGAL Government if nobody applies to claim the fund.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner
to stand as the next of kin to Mr.Robert Rice so that the fruit of
this old man's labour will not get into the hands of some corrupt
Government officials. This is simple, I will like you to provide to
me immediately your full name and address so that we can apply for
an Attorney who will prepare the necessary documents and affidavits
which will put you in place as the next of kin.We shall employ the
service of two attorneys for the drafting and notarization of the
WILL and obtain the necessary documents and letter of probate
administration in your favour for the transfer.
With any bank account in any part of the world that you will
provide,we will then facilitate the transfer of this money to you
as the beneficiary/next of kin.The money will be paid into your
account for us to share in ratio of 60% for me and 30% for you and
10 % will be set aside for expenses incured during the business .
There is no risk at all;
the paperwork for this transaction will be done by the attorney and
my position as the Branch Manager guarantees the successful
execution of this transaction. If you are interested, please reply
immediately via the private email address below, upon your
responses, I shall provide you with more details and relevant
documents that will help you understand the transaction.
Please observe utmost confidentiality and be rest assured that
this transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I
shall require your assistance to invest my share in your country.
Please upon the receipt of this mail message, send to me the
following to enable me start the processing of the fund transfer
into your bank account:
1.) Bank details to be used (that is banks name and account
number)
2.) The beneficiary's name.
3.) Your private / official telephone and fax number.
Awaiting your Urgent Reply via my private
email:mohammedphil@mail2banker.com or call me on my private
telephone number: +221-5251855.
Thanks and God bless you.
