Dear Sir,
I am Qi.White Malick.A Branch Manager of BANK In SENEGAL,
I have urgent and very confidential business
proposition for you. On Sep 10 2001, a Germany oil
consultant / contractor with the SENEGALIS National
Petroleum Corporation,
Dr.Joop Ruscheweyh made a numbered time (Fixed) deposited
for twelve calendar months, valued at US$11,000,000.00
(Eleven Million 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, SENEGALIS
National Petroleum Corporation that Mr.Joop Ruscheweyh died
from an automobile accident. 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 Dr.Joop Ruscheweyh did not declare any next of kin in
all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit
paper work. This sum of US$11,000,000.00 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 our
LAW, at the expiration of 5 (five) years, the money
will revert to the ownership of the SENEGAL 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 Dr.Joop Ruscheweyh so that
the fruits of this old man's labor will not get into
the hands of some corrupt officials. This is simple, I
will like you to provide me immediately with your full
names and address so that the attorney will prepare
the necessary documents and affidavits, which will put
you in place as the next of kin.
We shall employ the services of two attorneys for
drafting and notarization of the WILL and obtain the
necessary documents and letter of probate /
administration in your favor for the transfer.
A bank account in any part of the world, which you
provide, 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 the ratio of 60% for me and 30% for you and
then the remaining 10 will be maped out for any
expences done before or after the transfer.
As 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 response, I
shall then provide you with more details and relevant
documents that will help you understand.
Please observe utmost confidentiality,and 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. Awaiting your urgent
reply via email.
Thanks and regards,
Qi.White Malick.
Bank Manager in Senegal-Dakar Branch.
