Dear Sir,
I am Mr.Kwame Edward,one of the Directors in charge of Auditing and Accounting
section of International Commercial Bank in West Africa and also Chairman
of Investigating and Auditing Department of this Bank.
With due respect and regard, I have decided to contact you on a Business
Transaction that will be very beneficial to both of us and our families
in future.
During our Investigation and Auditing in this Bank, my department came
across a very huge sum of money belonging to one Deceased Mr.Morris Thompson
61years,of Fairbanks, Alaska America who died on January 31st
2000 with Alaska Airlines Flight 261. You can as well confirm it by yourself
through under stated Website of the incident
http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/ and if you want
to know more about the man himself, you can check
http://www.nativefederation.org/history/people/mThompson.html As the fund
has been dormant in his account with this Bank without any claim of the
fund in our custody either from his family or relation because he did not
indicate any next of kin to this account incase of
death such as these.
Although personally, I keep this information secret within myself and partners
to enable the whole plans and idea be profitable and
successful during the time of execution.The said amount is U.S $25.5m
(Twenty Five Million, five hundred thousand United States Dollars).As it
may interest you to know,I got your impressive information through one of
my good friends who works with Chamber of Commerce on foreign business relations
here in Lagos though I did not disclose the deal to him.
Meanwhile as a Senior Staff in this bank, and the Director of Auditing
and Accounting, I have in my possession all the necessary documents to perfect
this deal by making you the bonafide next of kin/Partner whom this money
will be transferred into your account.
I need your assistance and co-operation to get this deal alone.Because
as a foreigner, you stand a better position to be presented through documentation
as the next of kin/Partner since the deceased is
also a foreigner,this is the reason why I could not do this deal alone
as a Ghanaian and a Blackman as well.
I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk free.
On smooth Conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to 35% of
the total sum as gratification,while 1% will be set aside to take care of
expenses that may arise during the time of transfer and also
telephone bills, while 64% will be for me and my partners.
Please, you have been advised to keep this "Top Secret" as we are still
in service and intend to retire from service after we conclude this deal
with you.
And I assure you that this transaction will not last more than 10 working
days and you confirm the money in your account. I will be monitoring the
whole situation here in this bank until you confirm
the money in your account. And ask us to come down to your country for
subsequent sharing of the fund according to percentages previously indicated
and further investment,either in your country or any country you advice
us to invest in.
All other necessary vital information will be sent to you when I hear from
you.I suggest you get back to me as soon as possible stating your wish in
this deal.
I am expecting your urgent reply as soon as you receive this message.
Please send your response through my alternative email addresses below
for security measures kwameedward1@yahoo.co.uk
God bless you and your family
Best Regards,
Mr Kwame Edward.
