Subject: URGENT ATTENTION
FROM:Mr Marten Mofote
Re Transfer of $48,223,000.00 USD.[ Fourty eight million two hundred and twenty
three thousand United States Dollar ]
Dear,
My name is Mr Marten Mofote,I am the operational manager in account
management section incharge of credit and foreign bills of one of the prime
banks here in Africa. I am writing in respect of a foreign customer of my
bank who perished on EGYPTIAN Boeing 737 PLANE CRASH into the red sea with the
whole passengers aboard.
There is an account opened in this bank by this great late diamond and oil
magnet who died without a written or oral WILL attatched to the account. Since
his death I personally has watched with keen interest to see the next of kin
but all has proved abortive as no one has come to claim this funds and no other
person knows about this account or anything concerning it,the account has no
other beneficiary and until his death he was the manager of his company.
The total amount involved is 48,223,000.00 USD.[ Fourty eight million two
hundred and twenty three thousand United States Dollar ]. We wish to start the
first transfer with $20,000,000.00[Twenty million] and upon successful
transaction without any disappointment from your side, we shall re-apply for
the transfer of the remaining balance to your account.I have secretly discussed
this matter with the manager of the bank who I must involve in order to have a
smooth and a successful transfer of the fund to any foreign bank account which
you are going to nominate. On this note, I want you to act as the foreign
beneficiary of the fund from the deceased by providing your bank account where
the fund will be transferred for immediate investment on any viable project as
no one has come up to be the next of kin.
The banking ethics here does not allow such money to stay more than 2 years
without claim hence the money will be recalled to the government treasury as
unclaimed after this long period of domancy.
In view of this I got your contact through my personal search to see if you can
assist by providing your safe bank account for the transfer or find a reliable
person who will be capable of receiving such amount in his or her personal
account.At the conclussion of the transfer 65% of the fund will be for me, I
will give you 20% of the total transfer sum, 10% for charity both in Africa and
in your country while the remaining 5% will be set aside to settle expenses
both parties might incure during the transfer process.
Upon the receipt of your reply, I will send to you a detailed information about
the transaction.I will not fail to bring to your notice that this business is
100% free of risk and trouble free and that you should not entertain any fear
as all modalities for fund transfer can be finalized within 7 to 9 banking
days, after you apply to the bank as the beneficiary of the fund from the
deceased.
When you receive this letter. Kindly send me an e-mail and You should also
include your private fax and phone numbers for easy and safe communication.
Respectfully yours,
Mr Marten Mofote
